For those of you, like me, who enjoy studying the biology of the animals that you hunt, here is a study written by the Nevada Department of Wildlife on the biology of Chukar. It was originally written back in the late 50’s, then rereleased in 2008, I believe. http://www.ndow.org/about/pubs/reports/1970_Chukar-Partridge_Bulletin.pdf Personally there is only one topic that I found to be inconsistent with my own experience, but that is certainly not to suggest that the topic in question is not accurate within this particular study. The only information that I discount, is in this particular study the author speaks of hens laying eggs from mid March to mid April, which I certainly believe is possible, but not typical. On average I believe that is at least 4 to 8 weeks early, but no matter, it is still a VERY informative read.
