Looks like fun trek.

You must be pretty low. We still have snow in the hills down here.

I'm w/Moman. I'd say chukars. But you surely must have seen chukars before........

No dongle on their heads to they are Gambels or California quail.:confused::confused::confused:

The birds are Chukar, hunt em all the time out in the desert here in California. Nice sheds.

According to the all knowing MT F&G we dont have chukar in MT,so i couldnt have possibly seen them...right?Maybe the wolves and grizzlys that dont exist on our ranch brought them over from the land of OZ.
