Lloyd90 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Hi lads, What times will pheasant be leaving woods in the morning or returning to roost at night? Im trying to get my young dog onto some flushes and want to get there when the birds most likely to be around 👍🏻 Is it just as simple as, as soon as it gets light and when it’s getting dark? 😂 Lloyd Edited June 11, 2019 by Lloyd90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1steele Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 To be honest I wouldn't want anyone training there dogs on game at this time of year due to young broods. Birds come off roost at first light and go back at last light. Again, training dogs to flush birds as they are heading back to roost is not very good practice.

Will knock that idea on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Border was surprisingly well behaved, and we eventually got all our fairly young and just recently arrived birds back in the pens when I think it all got a bit too much for her and she rushed the enclosed birds........whoooosh, most took to the air and back into the woods! Start again! 🙁 Edited June 12, 2019 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
