Cookie headed out this AM to try for some Chukar images. Got a bit worried as it was about 13:00, pushing the high 90's, and she was not back yet. Came in pretty well roasted and in a sour mood, but she did get some good shots. Nailed them near a water hole. There were a few youngsters along, but they were not tall enough to be seen through the grass. Just a couple backs showing.

A little larger than quail and all white meat. Mild flavor that needs no cover up.

Outstanding pics! Hopefully they had a good hatch in eastern Oregon this year.
Favorite game bird to chase growing up in that region...love/hate thing and felt after the first time it was revenge driven.
Have had a lot of valley/California quail and chukar on the table....both excellent and white meat with the quail just being a little more delicate. As 1minute mentioned...don't need covering.

I'm glad you all like Chukar on the table.
I've cooked tons of it. BBQ, deep fry, bacon wrapped/grilled, buffalo style, stir fry, rottiseri, ........
You can have it.

awesome pictures. you know God created Chukars just to teach man patience. walk up the mountain for miles with them running ahead of you , get to the top and they break and fly just out of range back down to the bottom . repeatedly. love Chukar hunting more than any other type. can smell the sage and hear them cluck in my dreams.
