I love the time of year we hunt them, the dogs we hunt them with, and the birds. We are in the dog days of summer now so what better way to pass the time. So lets see them!
I myself have not released any pheasants but I do know of some people that do. It can provide a lot of fun if you do it the right way. I know of a farmer who has a small pen and raises about a couple hundred pheasants each year. He will release about 10 -20 birds about 3-4 days prior to hunting them and will continue this through the season. He always has action and the more time the birds stay out there the more wild they become. Good Luck!
