This state's classification carries no date range for the species.
No wild chukar population exists in Illinois and no general statewide season with fixed dates/bag limits is published (absent from the 2026-2027 Digest's season table). Illinois statute lists 'chukar partridge' among legally definable 'game birds' solely for licensed hunting-preserve purposes: pen-raised chukar may be released and 100% harvested on IDNR-licensed Class A preserves (Sept 1 – Apr 15) or Class B preserves (year-round), under separate preserve-license regulations, not the standard wild-game season/bag-limit framework.

Preserve locations are individually licensed, scattered commercial operations rather than a concentrated release geography, and IDNR publishes no aggregate map of preserve locations. There is no wild population and no mappable release/sighting geography to name as a region.
No formal population survey program exists for this species in this state.
