Thefisheroffish Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm trapping pheasants, with permission, and I'm wondering if any one has a pheasant problem or can't shoot. Or has helpful advice for me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbuss Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 a lot of keepers catch up hens for breeding next seasons birds. True, but the title of the thread and wording of the OP doesn't suggest that's what he's up to? "Pheasant hunting and trapping", "has a pheasant problem or can't shoot". I might start knocking on a few keepers doors and volunteering to deal with their "pheasant problem", if they give me some free cartridges in lieu of payment for my services?

labstaff Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 The shoot I pick up at has a pheasant problem........... They've all bogged off!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thefisheroffish Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Don't worry! I've got permission to trap on a friends land, and he does have a pheasant problem, and i guess I worded the tread badly... :unsure: But I am just curious if any one else traps them. And if they're successful. Sorry if any confusion was caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretertom Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 All you need is a small pen made out of small wire pannels with ''funnel'' entrances on the ground baited up with plenty of corn and an electric fence around it to stop mr fox.... its illigal to take pheasants after 31st of jan though, .

Game dealer I go to often had loads of cock pheasants in after the end of the season...(1st Feb by the way...unless you are in Northern Ireland), keepers trapped loads of birds for breeding and took out most of the cocks. Used to buy a few, no shot damage at all, their necks had been broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
