Hancock Chukar?

[deadyote]

Has anyone heard of chukar's on the westside of WA?  I was in scouting the Hancock property yesterday and saw a Chukar in the middle of the road.  I looked at it for about 2 minutes and was thinking to myself, there aren't chukar's over here?  Am I wrong or did someone release them?  I took a picture of it, but it didn't turn out very well.  It definitely was a chukar, so anyone know anything about that?

People release chukar all over the place.  They are popular birds for training bird dogs. 

My dog retrieved a half dozen or so chukar in our yard several years ago while I was away deer hunting and my wife had a pretty good meal of chukar.  It was pretty crazy......the dog kept going out and bringing back chukars and my wife just cleaned them and cooked them up.  Pretty cool.
