Putting the icing on the chukar hunting season

HUNTING -- I wrapped up the chukar hunting season today scrambling around the slippery slopes of the Snake River canyon with my buddy Jim Kujala and my trusty English setter, Scout.

The dog was pretty iced up from finding birds in the morning frost with temperatures in the teens, but by noon we found some sun breaking through the fog for a lunch break.

We packed away some chukars for the dinner table and great memories of another season.

Tip of the hat to six-year old bird dogs.  They don't get any better than that.
