Thread: Chukar - sourcing birds or eggs

If all else fails there is always the primitive ways of catching them (not that I am endorsing it coz its illegal). I wouldn't think the juice is worth the squeeze tho

Have heard of few cunning ways to trap/snare them you just need to be a little dedicated for a consistent period of time, and that's only if you live close to chukar country.

Its a big thing in the middle-east to snare chukar. They make snares out of horses tail anchored by a handful of mud or dung of some sort. The snares which are in high numbers are spread across the ground for the chukar to tangle up (but not kill them obviously). I believe they use a call bird as well to lure the wild birds closer to the snares, partridge in my opinion should do the job as a call bird.

Its quite fascinating how much respect this bird gets in that area of the world, people have them at home just like canaries. Quite a few of them release birds just for the sake of it. All fun stuff.

just for laughs.
