Do Chukars Like Snow?

Chukar tracks are easy to spot in the snow. Falling snow is good news for chukar hunters. Once snow starts to fall, chukars—which roam over a large area during the warmer months—concentrate in smaller areas. That makes it easier to find the birds.

Are chukars hard to shoot?

Chukar hunting is brutal on dogs, especially in the early season when it's hot and later on when they're working through snow much of the time. Feed your partners a high protein diet (at least 30%). Give them something with fat and protein after every hunt.

How far will chukar go underwater?
