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...
WGD Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Without pens you will struggle to hold them IMO, and being of reared stock the chances of them breeding succesfully to enhance your wild stock are slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
