Chukar........ well you know where they will be, steep rocky country.....and start climbing! Good luck and let us know how you do. Your closest spot will be Goldendale above the Columbia for Chukar. Further east you will find the variety of upland birds. May need to also consider hunting on the Oregon side again. I have hunted above Pendleton for a all three great gamebirds.
