Ugly gunning, to be sure

Yep, same problems associated w/quail..can't have them penned up too long. I was getting some fantastic Chukars from a fella that kept them on wire in a large pen far away from any day to day goings-ons. He fed them only at night. Would love to put in some boot time out west..supposedly pretty stressful in a good sort of way.
