[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 74154, member: 10"] Goodgrouper, Personally I have not seen any light grey colored chucks. They all have looked like this in general. The younger chucks are lighter color but because of the relatively low numbers we try to only target mature chucks. We used to have alot of chucks in this area but about 10 years ago a bunch of guys thought it was a good time to shoot chucks with their 22-250s and 243at ranges of under 100 yards. They would hike the lava rock rims and shoot them as they traveled. Using this method in this area, it was easy to get 30 chucks in an afternoon as the terrain really allowed easy approach to chucks. I will admit we did this at first two but then quickly realized that at this rate the population would not last for long so we quite this type of hunting and stepped back to at least 500 yards away when we started long range chuckin. Unfortunatly many others did not and after several years it was hard to find any chucks. As such the interest fell off from many of the locals and we are starting to see a slight rebound in numbers but nothing like what it used to be. Now we try to stay at least a 1/2 mile away for chuckin and limit targets to the mature chucks. Hopefully here in another 5 years we will start getting back to the good days of chuckin!!
