WILD PHEASANTS ESTABLISHED BY TRAPPING AND RESTOCKING Successful establishment of ring-necked pheasants seems possible by Happing wild pheasants from overstocked areas and moving them to fai in lands pioviding suitable feed and cover, a scientist m wild life management stated recently dining a game bud short couise at The Pennsylvania State Uni veisity Di John L George said that 1,006 wild nng necked pheasants weie icleased in a study area near Centre Hall, Centre County, during a three-year period of 1964, 1965, and 1966. The pheasants raised bioods, and offspring of the ongmal pheas ants have established them selves In 1968, the pheasant population in the study area was the highest on lecoid Suiveys showed that the num ber of pheasants in the area m ci eased 20 pei cent fiom 1965 to 1966 Fiom the spnng of 1966 to the spang of 1967, the pheasants increased by 80 pei cent And fiom 1967 to 1968, they mci eased 65 pei cent, "There aie now about 400 pei cent more pheasants in the area than there were four years ago Dr George affirmed “The trend has been one of steady increase However, the numbers are still below those of prime habitat for pheasants in southeastern Penn sylvania. We have every hope that the numbeis will continue to increase.” The pheasants lemamed rela tively close to the areas where they were first released, as indi cated by observation of marked birds Of leg bands returned by hunters, all were recovered within two and one-half miles of the release site. Pheasants cap tured at the site, marked, re leased and later observed were all noted within one and three-tenths miles of their point of capture Most were within a few hundred yards of their cap ture point.
