RENO, Nev. (AP) - State wildlife officials say the 2010-11
chukar hunting season is expected to be good for most of
Nevada with some areas providing excellent prospects for the
state's most popular game bird.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife says the season should be
better than the last two, and will provide hunters with ample
numbers of young birds in many areas.

According to the agency, Nevada's Pine Forest Range may be the
most popular chukar hunting area in the country, but chukar numbers
there are down from last year.

Officials say not only does chukar taste good, but it helps fill
a void for hunters unable to draw big-game tags.

The first hunt for the bird in Nevada took place in 1947, 12
years after it was introduced in the state.
