    Chukar in Otago

    Hi all
    Just a quick question, has anyone had success targeting Chukar in Otago?
    I have seen some below Mt St Bathans whilst chasing sheep but that was last century. I was wondering about hunting on the old Micheal peak run which is now DOC land.
    Thoughts?

    Predator numbers to high? Lack of habitat?

    I will do it some day as they are awesome birds. I'd be lying if I hadn't spent too much time while chasing deer looking at Chukar in the Binos. I got very lucky finding the population to be fair.

    Are there any in the North Island? I love upland hunting, this is definitely on my bucket list.

    Hope to chase some next year but will be down south as Marlborough / Tasman has short season (or no open season depending) and 2 bird limit.

    If anyone is keen on chasing any Chukar next year and want some company I'm keen. And that goes for NI pheasants too. Cheers
