Hells Canyon Chukar Hunting w/ Morgan Mason & Danielle Prewett | S1E03 | MeatEater Hunts

[@thebossness1440]

The first time you hunt for Chukar, it's for fun. Every time after that- it's for revenge.

[@mtnmorgan1]

Truest words ever spoken about chasing the devils.

[@MrAcuta73]

Amen

[@randommexican5664]

Last time I went after those little devils, I had to kill two rattlesnakes and rolled an ankle. Just makes cooking em up all the more gratifying.

[@johnnyrc9304]

That's well put, I'll remember that.

[@reyfelix6249]

I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

Hands down the best hunting/fishing/trapping & cooking show out there!! Can not wait for season 9 on Netflix to come out.

[@charlesaaroncamp8546]

Glad to see Danielle hunting! I love her cooking videos, but fun to see her out there proving it isn't just a dudes' hobby.

[@theblacklines]

her instagram is a lot of cooking, but she pounds the ground - no way she could be a poser and a part of the meat eater crew.

[@jayweatherman821]

She complains like she's at work. Hunting sucks with people who do that. It has nothing to do with her gender.

[@rexjamison6207]

I live in idaho where I have access to these devils birds and their hellish habitat. I love climbing the bare mountains chasing after those quicks guys. It’s very cool to see a meat eater special on chukar hunting, thank you!!!

[@TheDreadedRaider]

Are you laughing at them trying to walk too? Idaho native and I've hunted same hills. Ain't nothing but a normal hunt for this bird lol

[@TriedFR]

Ya same here idaho normal hunt just my family tends to trip less

[@johnl.sillasen1780]

I've done Hell's Canyon several times, and it is a cake walk compared to the terrain here in Inland SoCal ... steeper, more tumbly rocks, looser soil, dense chapparal and the quail are much smaller and way faster than chukar, and disappear over ridges ... you get 3/4 of a second to locate and pull the trigger. This past season, the birds were flushing 80 yard in front of the dog, not infrequently.

[@Kanakadea]

Danielle is awesome! Hope she's in more episodes in the future.

[@imcaptain2137]

Love seeing Danielle out there! Love her wild and whole chanell, she does great stuff

I love that you are like “with sore feet knees and banged up elbows.....” and yet nothing about a worn out dog. He looked so tired and sore and he had to walk back to camp. I felt bad more for him then the hunters.

[@thewarforgecom]

Had fun BSing with all of you at the Pheasants Forever banquet, and I'm glad to finally see how you did. It looks like some fun, but hard, miles.

[@hikinnh]

Love the adventure, the landscape and the entire process and the campfire dinner. Seriously jealous, the ONLY think I don't agree with is when Morgan shot his last bird, and he ejected the shell and kept walking down to the bird. He should have picked up the ejected shell. Carry In - Carry Out leave no trace....

[@jasonmk44]

glad to see some bird hunting on the channel, keep it up!

[@iflanzy]

I live in Boise and everyone I talk to here about Chukar hunting in the Snake River wilderness hates it because they are incredibly elusive. And yet they still do it. The hunter's mindset.

[@NoIwont]

try hunting chuukar when it's snowing and there is 4" of fresh powder snow on the ground and a covey of 15 birds explode out of the cover. Norman Rockwell stuff.

[@NoIwont]

BTW... As a hunter I am all about fair chase...skip the trail cameras in season and also baiting, certainly on public lands. Could care less what a person does on their own land, within the local game hunting laws anyways. Where SR on public chukar hunting? Haven't seen him giving it a try. Let's do one in the Snake River terrain Steve. Appreciate Meateaters approach to fair chase hunting. Stay easy and enjoy the ride.

[@richarddicktaylor219]

Two thoughts: 1- use a stick to help in such uneven terrain 2 - pick up your bloody empty cartridges!

[@thathotfeeling]

Yeah man, Idaho country needs to be taken care of. Respect the land and the animals in it or gtfo.

[@jcrawdawg7470]

so what they have to film them picking up every single carttridge just so you have some piece of mind?

[@GridDelinquent]

They pick them up. MeatEater generally discusses and emphasizes doing it, but they can't exactly film every cartridge getting retrieved.

[@lakepowellsports8763]

Awesome vid, keep posting them!

[@307outdoors8]

Love seeing the upland stuff! Nothing against pheasant but they are like fishing a stocked pond compared to chukar, huns and even sharptail. Love seeing dog work too

[@ricksmith2134]

My country and my favorite kind of bird hunting (love the bossness comment about Chukar hunting for revenge). I’ve got 5 or 6 birds on a couple of occasions, but mostly shoot many shells and bring home 1 or 2 “devil birds”. Always fun to watch my GSP work them. Unfortunately we’re both getting up there in age. Not many more Chukar hunts left before we both “retire” from it. Gonna miss it a lot, but time marches on.

[@SHARPPITT]

The idaho folk definitely look at people from other places funny and now I get why. They all seem like clumsy oafs. Falling down in driftboats, falling down on slick algae rocks with a fly rod, falling down in the hills. 😂

[@thathotfeeling]

As an Idahoan who hunts regularly, yes, jesus christ. The only pass I give is walking in recently burned country, that shit is dusty and slick at an angle especially if it rains.

[@dutoyboy1]

@@OneYoumark I dont always complain but leaving shit out in the field is a bum move. They made absolutely no move to pick them up. Love the show but that really is a dirty habit. Pick up your brass/shells. Or leave it to pollute and litter the "untouched" country

Hard hunting I've been an upland bird hunter since I was 14 I'm 26 now valley and gambels quail are my favorite I hate dove geese and duck hunting because you sit there and wait for them to come to you quail you interact with you talk to them and they talk to you and bust covey's alot of walking but it's rewarding there's a reason that the population is so huge in California not alot of people want to put in the work out here to hunt them but it's my favorite

Great video. First of its kind in terms of hunting chukar on meat eater. Think it’s great. Curious if anyone knows, I’ve raised thousands and thousands of them on the farm but because I’m from the east coast there are no wild chukar to be had, I’m curious if anyone has had both and could speak to the difference in flavor. Thanks👍👍

[@benwarner8995]

Redbone Bandit wild chukar that have been eating green shoots of cheat grass taste kind of sweet. Whereas pen birds taste bland bc of the bland feed most people give them.

Guaranteed weight loss strategy: Go Chukar hunting. Eat only what you kill and as much celery as you can stuff into your maw. You'll be skinny as a rail in one season.

[@peterhrkal8165]

My humble opinion is while wolf hunting is at times necessary and legal, it shouldn't necessarily be celebrated as a spectacle and chronicled like this tv show does. Just my opinion.... I'm a hunter who know what conservation is etc and killing predators is a part of that... not sure it needs to be showcased...your thoughts?

[@outdoorsman812]

I agree Peter. Also keeping predator hunting off the mainstream gives less ammo and emotional response from the anti hunting community!

Walking on the grass out there is like walking on greased plastic, no matter how slight the grade. Morgan...pick up your shells. If you've been hunting birds your whole life you should know better and be able to control your excitement in the field better than that. Maybe position Danielle for some more shots next time around too? She is a hard working young lady who hunts just as well as she cooks.
