I have always heard that chukar partidges originated in Aghanistan and adjacent Pakistan, where the Brits called them "Hill Partridges," and English speakers over there still call them that. I just wondered if, among all the war stories coming from that part of the world, any member knew of anyone who had seen chukars in their natural state? Or have they all been et by various hungry factions? (Somehow I doubt that, they are a tough critter, albeit tasty).
Any word from the Afghani uplands and cheatgrass roots?
