Free roaming pheasants?

[the beginner]

Has anyone tried before, and if so what are the results? Are there a specific species that you can try with? Can you try with silvers?

Predation will be a problem.

pheasant, chukar, quail etc don’t have “coop” instinct. once they are out, you rarely will see them again.......

As stated in many earlier post you can free range pheasants just once.hehe
In N.H.,Tony.

In general, they do not 'free range' well at all. There are always those that are the exception!
I have a Reeves pheasant that escaped it's enclosure and has been free ranging for over a year now. Some how he has managed to survive, raccoons, feral cats, foxes and hawks.
Here's some pics! And a video!
