so now that I have raised quail, I'm going to upgrade to pheasants. I'm going to have a 12.5 ft by 25 ft pen and have it about 12.5 feet high. I chose this size because I can get 1 roll of 12.5x150 foot 1 inch netting. how deep do I have to bury the chicken wire to stump the predators. and btw I caught a nice red fox in a trap by my quail pen trying to get my quail. my last question; I want to be able to have their sole ration to be cracked corn that I throw out for them to forage in and that would help them be more wild. my plan is that I will raise 30 to 8 weeks where I have heard that they can survive better the younger they are. I and going to release 25. and keep the others, breed them, and do the same thing for as many years as it takes to have a somewhat good population. I am hoping that some will live and be able to teach the newly released ones what to do. slowly I am going to raise more and more. any help is greatly appreciated.

sincerely,
pheasantshooter
