Wyoming · UplandGray (Hungarian) partridge

WGFD's own Chapter 16 management plan (shared with chukar) states gray partridge shares chukar's densest core in the Bighorn Basin and east of the Bighorn Mountains, but also names a distinct established population WGFD's plan and independent hunting-press sourcing agree on: an ongoing population near Kemmerer in southwest Wyoming (Lincoln County), and a Department-established population along the North Platte River near Huntley in Goshen County. Beyond those, the plan is explicit that a third cluster — Torrington, Wheatland, and Rawlins in southern/southeastern Wyoming — is NOT a standing range but an irruption-only signal: gray partridge ‘have been observed’ there only ‘during population irruptions, when weather and habitat conditions are optimal,’ i.e. good-year overflow rather than a resident population, and independent sourcing corroborates a recent decline in the nearby Casper region specifically because ‘much of the Casper Region is not considered to be good Hungarian partridge habitat.’ Statewide open season, no sub-state hunt-area split.
