Since it is possible that we will no longer have a pheasant stocking program a few of us have been discussing stocking gamebirds pheasant, chuckar, quail and hungarian partridge on state land to hunt ourselves. I talked with Western HQ about stocking birds in a certain WMA last fall and was told it's OK as long as you don't mind other people harvesting them. What would the requirement be for pheasants without a state run tag program. Would the birds have to be banded. And hungarian partridge have no current season. Could on be added. Thanks
