I'm thinking the vast majority of Ring-necked Pheasants shouldn't be countable either. How many generations away from the released ancestor does it have to be to be countable?Count it and enjoy the bird. The strict science is taking all the fun out of this pastime.

Also, it's my understanding that the only wild Chukars are on the Western Slope, so this bird is likely one that was to be used for hunting purposes. For that reason, it's not officially considered "countable." (Similar to the Bobwhites that are seen at Chico Basin Ranch from time to time. Again, brought in to be hunted.) Just my 2 cents.
