Title: Chukar populations in the state
Post by: merkelman on September 25, 2013, 05:22:16 PM: I have had several conversations with several bird biologists in the Yakima and Colockum area, they are saying a dismal year for the rock runners. Anyone hearing or seeing different?

There were also 3 big coveys of quail in the same area. Seems like the quail had a good hatch, I would expect the chukars to have done well too. But I'm no bio.
