joejack 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hi, Realise this may be a 'piece of string' type question, but approximately how much land would be needed for a drive, where for example 500 pheasant would be released? Thanks Joe Quote Link to post
Lab 10,979 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 It certainly is that type of question. For instance I know pieces of land around 1000 acres that putting anymore than 2000 birds on it would just be a waste and I also know of a place not even 1500 acres and they put down 10000 birds. It all depends on the lay of the land, woods on the land, and just generally good bird holding qualities. Used to be 'in' a small syndicate where I stay and we used to put down 500 over 400 acre. You could easily spend all day there without chasing the same birds all day. Quote Link to post
