Going Uphill For Chukar

Chukars, like blue grouse, tend to migrate uphill during late fall and they will stay on top unless snow accumulation forces them to lower elevations. Early-season wingshooters, hunting the creek bottoms, take advantage of the chukar's need for daily or twice-daily trips to water. But by late autumn, cool weather and increased moisture allows these hardy birds the luxury of moving to the top of the rims and canyons. They completely abandon the creek bottoms and low-elevation haunts they were forced to occupy earlier in the year. Instead, they roost high in the rimrocks and then feed on top during the day.
