Thanks. They wont last long!! Just invest in 3 blue barrel feeders, some wheat/barley also a couple of water drinkers and let nature do the rest…. You will need them any way to keep the birds around. Get them in soon as any birds on you land will stay there with a bit of luck. TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis_Lempriere Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 We are thinking about breeding them and releasing on a later date, we have only heard 1 pheasant around the area but still not seen him, we also have a pond and are thinking about a few mallard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Of course the ducks will be caught with fishing rods and hooks baited with bread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tis1979 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Go and see the gamekeeper on the neighbouring land when he has his birds buy some off him, he will sell you birds when you explain what your up too as he will get them back within a month or two. Good luck though hope it works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otherwayup Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 just spoke to my local gamekeeper and he said he'll sort them out for me Good on you for buying your own, rather than stealing birds from the neighbours by just putting out feeders.

Louis_Lempriere Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sorry Daks but there's already 4 of us and its only going to be a small shoot, but will let you know if we get any neighbouring land for a bigger shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
