An easier location, without having to leave your car, is along SR 17 south
of Coulee City. After coming off the hill from Dry Falls State Park, watch
along the roadside to the west for about five miles. Chukars come down near
the road for gravel during the last hour before sunset, and in the morning
as well. On my last trip to Okanogan County there were five individuals
along the way.
