Same situation as pheasant: no wild population in Arkansas.The only 2026-27 guidebook mention of chukar is the same pen-raised-bird dog-training/field-trial clause that also covers quail and pheasant. Chukar hunting, if it occurs, is limited to privately licensed game-bird shooting preserves with pen-raised stock, not an AGFC-published statewide season. Confirmed via full-text search of the entire 2026-27 AGFC Hunting Guidebook (see raw source) — not an unresearched gap.
Chukar exists in Arkansas solely under AGFC's Captive Wildlife / Game Bird Shooting Resort Permit framework (put-and-take preserve releases, dog-training releases) — confirmed absence of any wild, AGFC-managed population or survey infrastructure, consistent with there being no wild-bird season.
