Then there has been an exception made for the OBDCA. For my own interest I am going to look into it. I release birds off and on to keep my old girls fresh , and would much prefer quail to chukar for cost reasons. If they can release bobwhites then the rest of us should be able to. :)

afterthought:
Region 13 covers a large amount of Michigan. Maybe you mean the USA part of Region 13 Eric?

One does need a permit to release chukars (unless it's the 10 birds on one's own property as per the new rules as posted in post #1)
One does not need a permit to keep them in captivity.
Interestingly enough this thread highlights the mess of ON regulations wrt bird release. it's very hard to understand.

Absolutely right on. I guess one needs to check the regulations 3 times a year.

These are the regulations re buying and captivity as of June 2013 + now we need to add on vomD's extra info in post one.

Waiting on info from MNR about bob white.

Edit:

Just heard from the MNR . Pretty unbelievable. You can purchase and release bob white quail on your own Private Property ONLY.... You need a Field trial permit to release on your own property.OBDCA is exempt on the private property part but still needs a field trial permit.

Only private property I have is my back yard ,so I won't be releasing bob whites. :)

Chukar is not considered a game bird and no permit is required.(See list of gamebirds in the link.)

Yes folks ; that's what he said.

Even within MNR they have no clue, LOL
I obtained chukar release permit multiple times as it was required by MNR.

He said only the birds listed in the game bird link. Seemed to depend on who you talk to I guess. :)

"If you are buying wild turkey, northern bobwhite, Hungarian partridge, ruffed grouse, spruce

grouse, sharp-tailed grouse, rock ptarmigan, willow ptarmigan or their eggs the following
conditions apply: "
I don't see chukar on that list? I would print it and keep it with me if I was even thinking about releasing chukar

updated the first post in this thread with more info.
