From the first liberations in 1932 through December, 1955, 52,184 game farm reared chukars were released. The California Fish and Game Commission set a policy in 1947 eliminating the planting of game farm chukars north of the Tehachapi Mountains and in Inyo County. This was done in order to see if the birds would continue to flourish without benefit of a stocking program. Additional plantings of game farm chukars continued in the southern counties through 1955. Trapping of wild chukars began in 1953, with the trapped birds transplanted to unstocked areas similar to the areas where chukars had become established. During the period 1953-1955,.
