Title: Special prize
Post by: boneaddict on October 23, 2007, 02:53:58 AM: How would one of you pheasant hunters like to bag one of these? Both of these birds are wandering around wild in the Wenas as we speak compliments of some storm activity while I was gone hunting. One is from Japan and costs anywhere from $200 to $400 dollars. The other is a specially breed melanistic variety. Some may actually find some of these out in the wild, but probably not as good as this one. HAPPY HUNTING!

I have seen a ton of quail while driving, but I don't see anything public to hunt near wenas. Any spots you know of that a guy can bang some quail?

Post by: Alchase on October 27, 2007, 01:18:24 PM: Bone, are those pets? Or do you release them? I always wanted to raise a few of the Chineese goldens (I think that is their name) you have some cool looking birds.

Post by: boneaddict on October 27, 2007, 01:27:23 PM: Thanks Alchase. I raise them. Every once in awhile one of them little buggers get out. Here is a Red Golden

Post by: boneaddict on October 27, 2007, 01:34:31 PM: Yep, I have Silvers. Get yourself a pen I have several pairs and they aren't very expensive.

Post by: boneaddict on October 27, 2007, 01:36:44 PM: Wenas Quail. There is limited access to the LT, but there is a spot just this side of the lake, and about 3 miles this side of the lake that you can drive onto it. Beautiful country, but it does get shot at.

Post by: Alchase on October 27, 2007, 02:20:03 PM: Wow, those are some gorgeous birds! Looks like a fun hobby.
Title: Re: Special prize
Post by: tlbradford on October 27, 2007, 10:30:22 PM: I don't want to put up any pens, I have seen how much work it is. ;) I'll leave that to you. My buddy in Wilson Creek raised birds for years. The goldens were downright mean. Those poor hens didn't have many feathers left on them after breeding season, even with a board to run beneath. They sure are beautful though.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on October 27, 2007, 11:45:29 PM: :) Wow Boneaddict you have quite the bird collection.
Title: Re: Special prize
Post by: boneaddict on October 27, 2007, 11:53:39 PM: Thanks! Lots of cool sounds around my house in the Spring. I've probably got another dozen or so species.
Title: Re: Special prize
Post by: Alchase on October 28, 2007, 10:24:46 AM: Bone, how difficult would they be to raise in a more urban local? I always wanted to do this but to be honest I have not looked into the logistics much.

Post by: boneaddict on October 28, 2007, 10:32:06 AM: The Red and Yellow Goldens and Amherst work the best in small quarters. They don't have obnoxious noises, so don't attract attention from the neighbors. People house them in a 4x4 pens with limited success. Obviously the bigger the pens the better. I'll get pics of the Yellows and Amherst on here. The amherst can be a bit more nervous than the GOldens. I think the Yellow goldens are the kindest birds. I have some that follow me around like a pet dog outside, and they stay even.

Post by: boneaddict on October 28, 2007, 10:39:50 AM: Go to this link. Its the Golden pheasant page on my website. You can see their different pics. It would be easier than copying all the pics over.
