my land owners want to release birds on my lease. we have a large piece with farms, hedge rows, mature woods with logging ever five years. perfect habitat. one farm is in a wild flower program, plenty of cover and seed. is there a southern jersey place to buy birds? looking to get a good population before hunting, leaving them alone for years before hunting starts. thanks for the help __________________ united bowhunters of NJ

I don't think that ruffed grouse can be raised in captivity. Does anyone know differently? __________________  Helping deer go up the food chain since 1979.

we are hoping to bring the grouse back. took out the fox, and this years logging should provide great area for birds. trying to get some going. __________________ united bowhunters of NJ

Usually captive grouse do not work. RGS preaches building the habitat and having the birds rebound.
May work stocking quail... |

I know you said you won't hunt them for a few years, but just an FYI, even if you stock the birds, you have to follow state game regs unless you have semi-wild status. __________________ Life Member NRA, NAHC, NAFC

Check out the website ruffedgrouseociety.org. If you can get eggs they would know. Still strong populations in the upper midwest out to Idaho. Let us know if you have any luck. Thats a great eating bird.

| I don't thnk you can get grouse, eggs or bird. I have raised quail pheasant and chukar. Its really rewarding to seem the birds you have raised walking thru the woods when you are bow hunting. Your bests bet is to build a cage and by the chicks. Pheasant can be raised on the ground. Quail and Chukar should be raised in a raised cage. There is some type of disease that they catch from being on the ground in the pens. Probably a bacteria related. Also if you have pheasants in a cage they need to have blinders or there beaks cut, they will kill each other if in crowded conditions.... | ||

thanks guys. we used to have a ton of grouse down here. but the hawks and the grey fox population boom about 15 years ago wiped them out. the fox are thinned out but the birds of prey kill everything. we still have wild quail down here but not many, too many cats. we'd like to get the birds going again, with no intentions on hunting them. i'll look around. __________________ united bowhunters of nj
