"Pat Wray is one of today's finest outdoor writers, both because of his knowledge of the species he pursues, and his ability to string words together in a highly-readable, instructional, and entertaining manner. The book you're holding is a must-read for those who already know the chukar's version of a laugh, and for those still naïve and uneducated."
Ed Park
"A Chukar Hunter's Companion is written from the increasingly rare perspective of a hunter, a conservationist and a father. Pat Wray's wry humor, writing skills and deeper view of life lead the reader not only through the hard-rock canyons and jagged rimrocks of high desert chukar country, but down the sometimes tumultuous, always interconnected path of hunting and fatherhood, as well."

"Pat Wray is best known as a humorist, as evidenced by his invitation a while back to go chukar hunting. After giving me only a year and a half to recover, he's again pressuring me to get into shape for another trip. Pat wants me to know all there is to know about North America's most challenging upland game bird. Fortunately, however, I won't have to take him up on the invitation.
I read his book, A Chukar Hunter's Companion."
Bill Monroe
"Pat Wray is the thinking man's chukar hunter. In A Chukar Hunter's Companion, he successfully mixes self-deprecating humor with plain-spoken stubbornness to share his awe and his awesome knowledge in pursuing one of the greatest game birds ever introduced to this country."

A brief description of A Chukar Hunter's Companion: A Chukar Hunter's Companion lives up to its name. It's a companion you can count on for accurate information and fun. It's a friend who'll help get you ready for a successful hunting trip, then go along to help you enjoy it. At its core, Companion is a how-to book. It explores the entire process, from physical conditioning through the gear you'll need, and then the hunt itself. The hunt section is a comprehensive look at the entire process, from deciding on a location to caring for your birds. Companion also includes an exceptional section on dogs, including a chapter on hunting without dogs, a state-by-state hunting summary and a fine chapter of chukar recipes. Companion is much more than a simple how-to book. Pat Wray is a storyteller of the first order and his essays are alternately hilarious, heartwarming, thought provoking and deeply troubling. Readers will find themselves learning a great deal about chukar hunting and much, much more. Wray's stories, essays and his uniquely humorous perspective on chukar hunting and life (which are not much different in his mind) raise A Chukar Hunter's Companion far above the normal hunting book fare. Pat Wray has the heart of a hunter, the gift of a writer and an unerring sense of story. His ever-present humor sparkles throughout the text. This is not just a hunter's book; it is a reader's pleasure. Click here to purchase A Chukar Hunter's Companion online.
