Show Chukar Draws Ralph Sokolowsky Lots of Interest The chukar’s introduction to Utah was hastened by the fact many more pheasant seekers are being crowded onto diminishing croplands open to general hunting. and the more modern farming practices which annually leave no cover on fence rows, between fields, and along ditch banks. In effect better and more efficient harvests per square foot of agricultural effort has cut substantially into the ringneck’s richest habitat That's what makes the chukar a perfect “replacement” for what in some areas is known as a “rare and endangered'’ species, the male pheasant. Actually, the popular Chinesealien, although as colorful and crafty a bird as American scattergunners could hope to challenge, does not inhabit 97 per cent (non-irrigated) of Utah's 84,916 square miles. While muchterrain is too high and cold for the hen or rooster pheasant, chukars arebilled as Utah's“uplandbird of the future” because they dependnotatall on manorhis agricultural trends. These masked imports are also tough hombres. In deep snow, they just seek higher, wind-swept rideglines. Chukars are birds of the steep, rocky, seeminglybarren country in the Bechive State, aid there is muchofit from Kanab and St. George to Snowville and Coalville. They have flourished in the dry, sandy washes of eastern Utah's Book Cliffs, and more vegetated ravines of high Deep Creek Mountains on the Nevada border Some favorite places of mine are the ledges of Tooele County’s north western Stansbury Range, the hills near Promontory Point in Box Elder County, and the entire Wasatch Range from Springville to Cache County, as well as cliff country on the southwestern edge of Lake Powell, and sectors of Manti and Nebo. One morning a friend and I, Boyd Bronson of partridge hunters know. we had to get above them to put them to wing. If we had merely walked to them up a convenient ravine, they would have run uphill forever. We got into them after the first flight, too, by listening to their tell-tale “‘chukar, chukar’ call, a distress signal which can help the attentive hunter more than the birds That retriever was rather busy for two hours recovering birds.

The s-enery is usually superb. And I often hunt chukars while scouting for next year's best bucks, since they can frequent the samesteep real estate. You can bring back a possession limit of 10, and not even pheasant or quail can match a chukar on the dinnerplate. True, chukars are not an easy challenge.
