RE: Raising the Pheasant/Quail Population...
It would probably be better to try to improve the habitat and let the pheasant poulation that is in place increase than raising captive birds for release. If they are "dumb" birdsand they mate with your "native" population you may lose all self sustaining birds. It happened in Ontario and we're only now reintroducing "naturalized" birds that can fend for themselves and survive.
