We can agree to disagree.
Most times pen raised birds run, have poor flight feathers and are just plain stupid.
Releasing game birds to me on a game preserve aka pheasant farm is no different than hunting a high fence deer farm.
The new term many bird lodges use to advertise now is wild and 'liberated' population of birds.
Nothing.compares to a natural wild population. Doing otherwise aka planting, releasing, or liberating, pen raised birds is nothing more than a training session for me. A canned hunt.
