does anyone have any experience or knowledge on growing and releaseing chucker in central wisconsin. Will they overwinter and populate an area. I would like to grow some for dog training and general hunting but dont want to hurt the wild pheasant population. I hear there are populations in parts of wisconsin but have never seen one outside of a game farm. I dont mind if they overwinter but dont want them to become an invasive species.
If there are any chukars in Wisconsin they have escaped from game farms. Chukars like arid regions ( Idaho,Washington,Oregon,) a few other states. Wisconsin has some Hungarian partridge in some areas though I have never seen any. Neither bird will compete with pheasants though some times I have shot them in same habitat in other states. Hope this helps.
