Hi everyone in Nevada or any that have gone chukar or quail hunting in the state. I'm heading up to Pyramid Lake to go fish and I had the bright idea to bring the shotgun with me to go shoot on BLM in the afternoon if I can find some birds. I'll only be there 3 full days so maybe 1-2 afternoon hunts if I'm lucky! I post not to ask for a spot but more of how has the hatch been this year? Is there some type of rockpile or hill type or something I should head for when I start hunting that holds well in this area? I have OnX hunt to try and hit the guzzlers but does anyone have any warnings or advice for that area? Lastly should I be worried about keeping my shotgun locked up in my truck while fishing at the lake? Any advice for the area would be greatly appreciated because this is kinda a once in a lifetime trip so I'm making the most out of it even though I went to college in Susanville and never came to Pyramid. Thanks
 
willard,

Welcome to SCH....1st thing I'd do is check with the local Fish & Game office and find the nearest chukar & quail areas...They may even have a website that would suggest spots...I've killed quite a few down by Tonopah, but that's a long ways from Pyramid...Maybe check the local sporting good stores too... ;)

Good luck

ps...I wouldn't worry about your guns

Catch any giant cutthroats? I've always wanted to do that. Ed F
hopefully I will, I'm leaving tomorrow at 4pm and arriving at the lake 3am to start fishing. I'll be there till Monday so my plan is to fish the mornings and hunt the afternoons.
