Chukar Hunt '08

Mark and Justin went to Soldier Meadows north of the Black Rock Desert this year.
Justin found this carved out rock that opened up into a little cave big enough for 2 people.
Justin could stretch out and lay down comfortably inside.
There were a lot of neat geological features in this area. Justin and Mark both found geodes.
Mark was filtering some spring water to refill his water bottle when a cuvvy jumped up out of nowhere. He scrambled for his gun and managed to down this bird! Quick on his feet!
This area is a wilderness area and vehicles are not allowed so Mark and Justin camped overnight at the base of the mountain and hiked in.
Justin shot his limit (6 birds) the first day but got skunked the next day. You just never know what will happen when you go chukar hunting!
