Summary

Man! Chukar hunting in Nevada is a WILD adventure! Sure, the bird numbers arent what they were last year but they are still pretty good!

On this weeks episode I am joined by two of my most adventurous hunting buddies, Dom Watts and Brent Kroll.

Dom is a New Mexico native that lives in Alaska. He is a sheep hunting and bird hunting addict and is always down for an adventure in a new place.

Brent is a NAVHDA judge and hard core wild bird hunter. He spends most of his year in the forests of Michigan chasing ruffed grouse, but really wanted to get out of the woods and do some climbing for his first wild chukar hunt.

We discuss our hunts while in Nevada. Huns, Valley Quail, and Chukar. We also talk about sheep hunting, back country ATV riding, and even archery hunting for Musk Ox in Alaska.

This is part one of the 2025 Nevada Trip. Stay tuned for part two with Ryan and Jace Newmarker and Todd (last name unknown)
