Ryan and Jace Newmarker are a father/son Chukar hunting duo that hunt as hard for these Wild birds as anyone I know! Jace is now 12 and his smack talk has really reached a fever pitch! He loves giving the other guys in camp a hard time if they missed, but no one more than his uncle Todd.

We talk about the Chukar hunting in Nevada this season compared to last season. Talk theories on what happened to the hatch across Chukar country. We also discuss general hunting tricks and tips to help put more birds in your bag.

Man! Chukar hunting in Nevada is a WILD adventure! Sure, the bird numbers arent what they were last year but they are still pretty good!

On this weeks episode I am joined by two of my most adventurous hunting buddies, Dom Watts and Brent Kroll.

Dom is a New Mexico native that lives in Alaska. He is a sheep hunting and bird hunting addict and is always down for an adventure in a new place.

Brent is a NAVHDA judge and hard core wild bird hunter. He spends most of his year in the forests of Michigan chasing ruffed grouse, but really wanted to get out of the woods and do some climbing for his first wild chukar hunt.

We discuss our hunts while in Nevada. Huns, Valley Quail, and Chukar. We also talk about sheep hunting, back country ATV riding, and even archery hunting for Musk Ox in Alaska.

This is part one of the 2025 Nevada Trip. Stay tuned for part two with Ryan and Jace Newmarker and Todd (last name unknown)

It has been a very long road to get to this place with Rusty. He and I have spent countless days and more miles than I care to think about chasing birds from the artic circle to the mexican border and everywhere in between. But finally we have done it. Rusty and Me together have both managed somehow to hunt and harvest every upland bird species in north america TOGETHER.

Katie Willis and Kirk Adams helped make this possible.

In this episode we discuss how amazing valley quail are as a game bird. Covey dynamics, mountain lions, chukar and much much more.

Man! 2025 has certainly been the year of the Pheasant in North Dakota! Wess, George and Myself recap our favorite moments of the season. We also chat about an EPIC hunt to finish off the season in style!
