Gary, Kevin and Duke, Chukar Work

Gary Miselbrook came out with his friend Kevin Crain and his young brittany, Duke to get some work on chukar. I set out some birds in the East Bottom Field for Duke to find. He held steady for most, waiting for the hunters to approach the point. Duke got some nice work and steadied up as the hunt went on.

After a lunch of pulled pork, baked beans, ect. some of us headed back out to pick a few of the escapees.
