Which birds are included under the term "partridge" in Wyoming regulations?

The term "partridge" in Wyoming regulations refers specifically to the chukar partridge and the gray partridge. These two species are recognized within the state's game management framework, allowing for regulated hunting and conservation efforts. Chukar partridge are typically found in rocky, hilly terrain, while gray partridge are more common in grassland and agricultural areas. Including both species allows for a comprehensive management approach that balances hunting opportunities with conservation needs.

Other options are incorrect because they either limit the scope to one species or do not accurately reflect the recognized partridge species in Wyoming. For example, referencing only the chukar partridge overlooks the importance of the gray partridge in state regulations. Similarly, stating "all species of partridge" would be misleading since not all partridge species found elsewhere are recognized in Wyoming's regulatory framework.
