I have hunted late season preserve chukar. I will never do it again. The birds had almost no scent, so the dog would be right on top of them when he would finally smell them and go on point. And, the birds flew poorly. Can't say why they flew bad, though.

Overall, it wasn't worth the money I spent in terms of enjoyment, and it was not good training for the dog, either.

Just my one experience.

FWIW
