keith_graham Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I know of a small bit of ground that over the past 5 or 6 years has consistently held a small number of pheasants, not quite sure where they have come from or whether they are successfully breeding wild, they certainly behave very wild. This year I am thinking about putting out a small number of adult pheasants to supplement what may be left and seeing if they will successfully rear young. The birds I am thinking of buying were released last summer and are caught up on request (hopefully will not be easy fox prey). I am thinking about releasing these birds at the end of February, does anyone have any tips on how I can keep them in the area? Can I just release them immediately on bringing them to the area? There are no pens that I can release them into. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The chances of them birds breeding is very slim I'd imagine, pheasants will naturally wander, unless you put out something thats really going to keep them there (feed) and if theres plenty of cover they might stay around but I'd be very surprised if they did.
