pheasant brooding at the Urbana
Game Farm, Champaign County.
1t is expected the new facili-
ties at Urbana will permit the
Wildlife Division to raise higher
quality birds at lower price
and better last years game farm
production record which saw
100000 ring-necked pheasants
produced. More than $4,000 of
the birds were turned over to
sportsmen clubs for release
under the $3.50 stocking pro-
gram.
This program is a cooperative
effort between sportsmen clubs
and the Wildlife Division in
which the division provides
pheasants one day or six weeks
old. Then, the sportsmen clubs
care for the birds until they are
released when 10 to IL weeks
Bill Hendershot, game man
agement supervisor for the Wild
life Division, said the $3.50 pro-
gram has been popular. Partici-
patton increased from "a clubs
in 1856 to ll2 in 1858. During
the same period stocking by
sportsmen jumped from 1900
pheasants to 66,100.
In outlining the values of
stocking Hendershot told the
council: artificial propagation is
costly and does not solve our
pheasant-hunting prob bic m S.
Stocking pheasants where they
have been established will not
cause the future pheasant pop
ulation to be greater in the area" "
He declared soil, land use and
weather could determine more
than anything else how many
birds an area would support.
'The Division of Wildlife has
both a long-range and short
range responsibility to sports
men," HenderShot said. He listed
stocking as short-range pro-
gram.
Besides the ring-necked pleas
ant, eight other similar species
are being raised by the division.
Major efforts center around
developing a bird through cross
and back breeding that will sur
vive and provide pheasant hunt
ing in the hilly, wooded land of
southeastern Ohio.
The project originated by
creating a Reeves ring-necked
hybrid Sterility, characteristic
of hybrids, plagued production
of the species for a long time
until repeated back crossings to
pure strains produced a bird
capable of reproducing on its
own.
