In each area, complexes of four to six guzzlers are built about one mile apart. Biologists then move down the mountain range a couple of miles and build another guzzler complex. The idea behind this guzzler construction scheme is to place water where birds would normally look. Biologists also want to provide water in areas that provide good forage for chukars.

Chukars are an exotic bird that are native to places like India and Afghanistan in the Middle East. They are about 15 inches long and weigh 20 ounces.

Chukar partridge live in some of the most inhospitable habitat in Utah.

They're found mostly on steep, rocky slopes in the barren desert areas of the state. They seem to like areas that have low-growing shrubs, such as the sagebrush, saltbush and cheatgrass vegetative zones, above and below the juniper tree belt. Talus and rocky slopes help the chukars hide, and they give them a place to escape.

Chukars eat mostly grass seeds, weed seeds, buds and flowers. In the winter, they also eat cheatgrass that's just starting to grow.

Male and female chukars look almost identical.

The season runs until Jan. 31 in some areas of the state. Both males and females can be hunted. The daily bag limit is five birds, and the possession limit is 10.
