>From Colo Parks and Wildlife: "In order to develop chukar hunting along the Front Range, Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists will release about 400 wild chukars in northeast Colorado over the next two years. Ultimately, this project aims to establish a self-sustaining huntable population of chukar along the Northern Front Range for Colorado upland bird hunters to enjoy." "In August 2014, biologists released 168 wild chukars from Utah into the foothills of the Poudre Canyon near Fort Collins, Colo. Chukars were released in four different locations, which biologists evaluated before transplant to determine habitat suitability and chukar impact on native game or non-game birds."
I wonder how they evaluated the chukar impact on native birds??
