This state's classification carries no date range for the species.
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.
Arkansas has no wild, self-sustaining chukar population. AGFC's 2026-27 Hunting Guidebook contains no statewide chukar season and mentions the species exactly once, in a clause covering pen-raised birds used for dog training and field trials alongside quail and pheasant. No release history and no recurring wild-sighting cluster is documented for Arkansas, so there is no geography to name even at the release-site level.
No formal population survey program exists for this species in this state.
