When to release

[Skeet Mc]

A friend from church has purchased some pheasant to help re populate his farms. The birds are 50/50 male and female. He asked me to come run my dogs and guide a hunt on the roosters after they are released. Not having done this before, how long should we wait to hunt them after they are released in to th field?

I joined a local game farm this year to get my dog on some birds for training and they put them out 1/2 hour or so before we hunt them. The birds they put out fly real good, almost like they are wild ones but they are raised in extra large flight pens so I think that helps a lot. Good luck hunting!

Thanks for the info.
