A Family Affair - Chukar Hunting With Sunburst Brittanys & Friends - Season Four Episode XII

Join us as we chase Chukar & Hungarian Partridge in the wild country. We were treated to some awesome dog work for both of these hunts. For the first hunt I take Gabe of Sunburst Brittanys to one of my favorite spots. In the second part I meet up with my new friend Josh for a hunt with his Sunburst Brittany "Griffin". Griffin put on a clinic out there. I hope you enjoy the video!

It’s cool to see all the dogs work together. and what a great way to keep Coop’s memory alive ❤️ the best boy. Great Work everyone.

[@RichardBlazek-q8r]

I gave up a female Brittany years ago due to divorce - now watching your dogs really hits hard. Penny was her name and fortunately I put her in a home where she would be appreciated.

[@thebirdbum9182]

Thanks for sharing! That was great to see that many Brittanys working together.

[@jdemartini9807]

Nice Rob, thanks. Season starts in California in six weeks with Dove. Quail and Waterfowl another four weeks after that. Getting excited.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

Happy hunting this season!

[@levischenk2668]

Another wonderful video! Thank you Rob. Looking forward to September and kicking it all off again.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

Thanks for watching!

[@SpanielshuntingtrialingNZ]

I enjoyed watching the four dogs work as a team, good handling and training needed to make that happen. Beautiful wide open country.

[@azquailadventures]

Beautiful work man! Love seeing that country and your dogs work it!!

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

Thanks!

[@tomhinkle2517]

That was awesome I was just going to tell you we used to hunt sage grouse there and then you flushed those good to see like your content

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

That's awesome! It’s a beautiful area.

[@shawnkearney4502]

Great video. This is helping me deal with heat here in AZ. I can't wait for September!!

[@stevenreilander]

That’s some nice dog work. Well done y’all!

[@Nephi2006]

Ha-ha I'm getting bird fever too Rob, Ralphie and Colt are ready to go too. I dropped 30lbs to get into shape!

[@jakef1977]

Another fun video buddy! That's the first time I've seen Griffin work. I already see him in Moxie she moves exactly like him and she is a little fearless spitfire. You're getting me pumped for the season.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

I just grabbed the last male from the litter. So I’m super stoked right along with you! We own siblings now.

[@jakef1977]

@@NorthwestWingshooters awesome! We talked about getting him also on our way home but figured two puppies would be too much work right now. We really need to get together to hunt sometime in the future.

[@Chukartramp]

It's good to see Cooper work the birds with dignity in his last season afield. It's great to see Griff and josh as well. That was a huge covey you both took birds from.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

@jakef1977 Hit me up on Instagram and I’ll get you my number.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

@chukartramp that covey was so big. You can see birds go straight up over the hill in addition to the right to left flush. Cooper lived his bird dog life to the fullest. While I wish I could’ve had some more time with him in retirement, I’m pleased he was largely able to hunt like his old self through his last season.

[@jacttackle57]

I love Brittany’s half of my dream team is a sweet girl named Charlie

[@MrRutter81592]

“How!!???” Famous Chukar hunter words 😂

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

You know it. 🤣

[@jacobogorman6151]

Haha I’ve flushed a bunch of Sage grouse in that exact same spot

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

There was a lot there!

[@jayrobertson232]

I’d really like to have conversation with you guys. Haven’t done this yet (I’m 73+) and most videos have been very discouraging because of the obviously treacherous terrain. But this one looks quite a bit different! Maybe there’s hope for me yet. I have two Brittanies that love to go to Montana with me for sharps, Huns, and roosters every October for the last 9 years. We stay in the Northern tier of counties and have never seen a snake,and the old Vet in town says they only hear about them near the Missouri River. Are snakes a problem there or is it just that Winter puts them in their dens?

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

I just took my 69 year old Dad chukar hunting last week. You can do it! There’s definitely some relatively flat walks to be had, but people who find those places hold them close to their vest for obvious reasons. In regards to the snakes, they are out until November or so in most of the Northwest. We hunt while they are out and it’s an accepted risk. I snake train my dogs and try to always be within 3 hours of a vet with anti-venom.

[@uplandwild4136]

Im not being critical, I enjoy your videos and like your dogs. But was wondering why you wouldn't E collar correct Cooper when you were asking for a whoa? I know dogs aren't perfect 100% of the time. My dogs don't always whoa when I ask for either but I would have stemmed him and made him stop. Again my dogs don't always behave either. Thanks and Good luck next year

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

@@uplandwild4136 on the particular unit I’m using it’s a bit of a hassle to switch between dogs for e-collar correction. You kinda need to choose what dog is primary or most likely to need correction. I usually have it set to Dizzy since she was the least experienced dog. To switch dogs you need to select a different dog on the phone or watch app. It’s obviously not desirable for him to creep and pass a dog who made the find in the first place. But as I explained in the video, he was my first dog and it was just him and I for so long. He was set in his ways by the time I got a second dog. We are working on a better collar situation and now that I really know what I’m doing, I will hold my dogs to a higher standard moving forward.

[@uplandwild4136]

@@NorthwestWingshooters I wrote the comment after the first point. I kind of thought he was an older dog so I was just wondering. I only have two Brittanys and can set up the alpha 200i where I can easily correct 3 dogs. I plan on running my young dog early with a belly collar and a second handheld. Hopefully I can be smart early on to reenforce staying steady to wing with him. My older dog is pretty solid at this point.

[@RichardBlazek-q8r]

I know that that’s the high desert but the scenery is biblical.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

It is my favorite area to hunt. Even though it doesn't necessarily hold the largest amount of birds.
