General lee 979 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Is a pheasant sleeping in a tree a one off? I must be reading it wrong if you mean the height yeh seen loads in low trees Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RubyTex 1,957 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Seen loads do it, not ideal when poults do it in a release pen cause as soon as you spook them they're away over the fence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,589 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 The sooner poults start roosting the better, less stuff can nobble em when their off the ground. Its weirder when you find a pheasant out in the middle of a field at night time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nowt should be getting them if you're keeping up with your pest control though Dont matter how much pest controll is done there will still be losses as you cant keep everything down,you can only try and keep it to a passable level and even at that there will be casaulties.A good friend of mine had a small shoot on which he released pheasant,partridge,and also had duck flights.He used to have a shoot day every friday and would release a certain amount of birds early in the week to adjust to there surroundings from a small release pen.1 night before he got to release his birds a badger payed him a visit and killed 200 adult cock pheasents even though the pen was electrified with 3 strands of wire all round,it just dug in under and passed no heed to the shock but was still in the pen next morn,every bird was dead and then they say a badger wont do harm?
