Widely understood to be a stocked/put-and-take species on Ohio wildlife areas rather than a wild self-sustaining population, but no ODNR primary source explicitly stating this was located in this pass - flagged as a gap, not asserted as confirmed fact.
Lower-confidence call: chukar is widely understood to be a stocked/put-and-take species on Ohio wildlife areas rather than a wild, surveyed population, but no ODNR primary source explicitly confirming this (or naming which wildlife areas are stocked) was located across the Tier A pass or a fresh targeted search this pass. No dedicated population survey or forecast document of any kind was found for the species either way.
