Western Utah / Chucker

Harley Jackson (Host) and his friend Ned Johansen hunt for Chucker in the Great Basin Desert of Utah. A good year for chucker populations, the birds are hiding in the cliffs and sage brush of this arid desert terrain. The guys shoot these birds behind points by their German Shorthaired Pointers "Mason", "Chester", "Sancho" and French Brittany "Spinner". Young "Spinner" gets a great point and retrieval that Harley Jackson is especially excited about. Then Chef Iverson Brownell creates a delicious dish from this upland game bird in the Wild Game Gourmet and in this week's Straight Shooting Nick Seifert explains the importance of proper foot movement.
