Episode 024: Devil Birds in Arizona - Chukar Hunting with Michael Cravens
Episode 24
Wednesday, 7 September, 2022

In the upland world, Chukar are known as a brutal bird to hunt. It's not their brutish size that earns them the name "Devil Birds", most are roughly the size of a forest grouse. It's their tenacity & wiles in the rugged and rocky terrains they inhabit that have earned them their many nicknames and reputation. Within Arizona, there are very select and remote locations where to find these birds and hunt them. I had a chance to sit down with Michael Cravens, a small game fiend on his way to completing all 4 of the Small Game Challenges in Arizona, with the goal of being the first person to do so. Mike recounts the hunts as well as some tangental topics of living in his new home near Flagstaff, his passion for cooking wild game and more! We hope you enjoy this episode!
