Partridges ONLY for the last stocking day...

[LPJR]

Going in the am for what I thought was the last stocking of pheasants of the season. Talked to one of my friends who stocks tonight and he said that ONLY Chukars were stocked at Flatbrook. I knew the state had an issue, but to be void of any remaining birds??  

I guess it is what it is......Going to need a bunch for cutlets I think lol!  Going to try for some leftover ringnecks....

Good luck. Nothing like paying for some nice chicken breast only to be served chicken nuggets.

Another kerkuffle from the Division thrown at the hard working license buying sportsmen!!  

I bought a pheasant stamp!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a chukar stamp!!!!!!!

Chukars suck!

There is absolutely no chance of coming across a chukar in February........but there are some spots that will hold pheasants into the spring.......or at least thru the end of February small game season.

The purpose of this post was not to bitch, but to give a heads up for guys travelling to hunt on the last stocking day not to expect many pheasants, other than leftovers. We hunted for 2 hours, put up 2 chukars in the first 5 minutes, then a hen that was wounded. The chukars flew about 2 feet above the ground past a guy who literally could have caught one if he stuck his hand out..That was it. Very few shots heard, maybe 6 which is unheard of for Flatbrook. Had a good season as the state stocked well overall. Was just crazy that they had to purchase Chukars to supplement not having enough birds...

Wel they did put chuckers at Clinton WMA, had a bunch of us scratching our heads since a dozen birds were standing behind the maintenance building next to the stocking truck. Guess they didn’t spread them out much LOL

only saw one at pequest two lots said no birds

[vizslabirddog]

Got one hen at pequest, no chucks, didn’t hear many shot. It didn’t even look like the stocking truck pulled in where I go. Driving down the road across from one of the park spots saw one chuck in someone’s driving way, meaning they prob just stocked them in the parking lot at that spot.

I went to observe the shitfest. The first shot was at a chukar on the ground and the kid missed it. It flew down the line and about 8 other guys missed. I probably saw 15 or more birds just watching from road. One came into the road and under a truck. The dog kept chasing it form one side to the other. Finally a guy walked over and stepped on the chukar since it would not fly. They were running more then flying. Some guys said they liked the change and others said "this sucks".

After seeing and getting pheasant every Saturday afternoon with my dog, did not see or put one chuckar up, guy in the parking lot got 1 at first light,
