New Ebey Island Release Site

[Goldeneye]

Yes they have planted birds.  They're probably taking cover under the tressle as we speak.

I didn't know that.  I will let my Grandpa know.  I'm not good with the crowds so I stopped buying my permit a few years back.

[Goldeneye]

I'm not much of  a crowd guy either.  Good Luck to your Grandpa.

Wait so Smith Farms in Stanwood is closed?

[Goldeneye]

I beleive so.  So the guys up there will be filtering down this way some.  I think the next open site to the north that get's plants is the Welts Property.

There only releasing through October 12th on the Samish Unit. Kind of lame in Skagit County this year. I don't enjoy the release sights much but it is good dog training. I am heading to Montana tomorrow so I won't even hunt there this year.

I thought they released birds at the welts property last year.

[Goldeneye]

Yes they did.  I think that's the next place north of the Ebey site.

Are you sure they stop on Oct. 12?  Last year they released straight through until late November and it was pretty crazy once waterfowl opened up.

I sure would like a link to this information. I have heard this from a couple people; so I called the mill creek office and they said it wasn't so.
there needs to be some editing on the pheasant release site information, many of the release sites listed are no longer available.

Page 7 of the above link says Oct 13 the Samish and that Smith Farm and HQ are no longer active.  If it's wrong point that out to Mill Creek WDFW and they should be able update the online info.
