As publishedNov 23, 2026 - Feb 28, 2027 (same as pheasant, per statute)
Not listed as its own line item in the 2026/27 printed guide's species table.Delaware's codified regulation (7 Del. Admin. Code 3900-4.20) states 'Chukars and Hungarian Partridge may be hunted during the lawful season to hunt pheasants,' so the season is treated as identical to the pheasant season. No partridge-specific bag or possession limit is published for 2026-27.
No wild Hungarian (gray) partridge population exists in Delaware to regionalize, the same private Gamebird Breeders Permit / release-permit basis as chukar (7 Del. Admin. Code 3900), with the species' lawful season legally tied to the pheasant season rather than run as its own program. DNREC runs no public stocking program and reports no aggregate release geography, so there is no honest region to name.
No formal population survey program exists for this species in this state.
