I'm not a hunter but ...
"Idaho offers some of the best chukar and gray partridge hunting in the West, not to mention robust populations of California quail. Chukars are typically found in rocky, arid areas covered with cheat grass and sage brush."

Half my property is sage covered. Smells nice, especially after a rain. I have groups of coveys of quail - 25 or more per covey sometimes - wandering around the homestead. Ground dwellers for the most part. They seem to prefer running to flying but capable of both. The cats catch one or two but I suspect that's the quail's fault because usually the coveys are very attentive. Not so many chukar immediately close by but pheasant and sage hens make a rare appearance. Need to dig up a photo ... but this is about chukars.

"Chukars are not native to North America, having been introduced from Asia, but they have thrived in the arid, rocky slopes of the western states."

"The Owyhee Mountains in southwest Idaho provide some of the state’s best chukar hunting opportunities. This remote and rugged range along the Idaho-Oregon border has an abundance of chukars. The chukar population here thrives thanks to the plentiful water sources and steep, rocky slopes."

"The birds are hunted across the dry, rocky Columbia Basin, especially in the vicinity of the Snake River in Washington and Oregon." Not sure why this source doesn't mention Idaho - the majority of the Snake is in Idaho and forms much of the border with Oregon.

Pretty bird. Tasty I hear but doesn't seem to be much meat on them, particularly if needing to pick out shotgun pellets.

Have you all received your refund checks from the government giving back the money it's been found was stolen from you?

Have you received your notice yet that the IRS is auditing you because of that undeclared income?

Even though I'm more or less due north of San Diego, southern Idaho is on Mountain Time. For that matter, Mountain Time (in the US) extends 60 miles west into Oregon. Nevada to the south is on Pacific Time as is northern Idaho. So sunset is an hour later than it would be considering our longitude (near 117W).

Between Tom's trouble posting a comment image and ghostsniper's success in doing so, I dug a little deeper into the problem. It appears that images in WEBP format can not be inserted (huh???) but jpg can. Also acceptable: BMP, TIF, GIF, PNG.

Please keep images sizes to a max dimension of 800 px (and/or under 1M) or it may exceed the size limit.

"How The Great Society Doomed The United States" at Wilder, Wealthy, and Wise

"Perhaps the worst seven years in the post-war history of the United States started in 1964. ... Let’s start off with the worst one first. That is, of course, the Civil Rights Act of 1964."

1st Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The right of the people peaceably to assemble implies the "right" to not assemble. The Civil Rights Act eliminated that.
