Hunting Chukar
Richard O'Toole has pursued upland game birds in the Pacific Northwest since his graduation from Cornell Medical School in 1963. He has been intrigued by those unique behaviors of the chukar which set it apart from other upland game birds. His scientific background has enabled him to critically review the published studies which describe the biological behavior of the chukar, and he has hunted it with the fervor and affection it deserves. Retirement from his practice of Internal Medical and Infectious Diseases in 1997 provided him the opportunity to combine his observations and experiences in this guide. He makes his home in southwestern Oregon.
