cumbrian top shot Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just out of interest what breed of pheasant do you guy's release on your shoot and your reasons for choosing that breed, you hear so many stories regarding these "wonder breeds" nowadays, personally I think its just down to management and the topography of your land.

kennett Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 BazantyXmichigan. Small, especially the hens, flew very well even on our relatively flat ground but were a bit wandery. Would Have the same again though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Blacknecks, they stay on the ground. Usually fly well although this year we had issues on a couple of drives with birds coming at the guns at head height. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocknee Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I had pure Bazantys one year and found them to be as wild as hell they flew like missiles, trouble is they never stopped and most ended up in the next parish. I now get first cross Bazantys crossed with French ringnecks these I have had for several years now and they hold and fly really well.

rich1985 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I think all this this breed that breed is a load of sh.. I just release standard ring necks nothing fancy and they always turn out just as good as any other pheasant, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 It depends entirely on your expectations, topography and keepering input. Some shoots will excel with ringnecks, whereas others get the best out of Michigan crosses. No point in putting down breeds that are prone to wonder if you have a few drives on 2 or 3 hundred acres and can't spend hours dogging in. The skill is choosing a breed that suits your keepering, shoot and topography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
