For those members that are in the Bemidji area, preferably a bit southwest of Bemidji, is there any game farms that sell live pheasants? I am bringing my new pup with me to Becida when deer hunting this year and since we have acreage of grassland at our Becida property that I can work a dog, I would be interested in a source for birds to plant. I do have the required dog training permit, so would prefer pheasants, but chuckers will work also, just need a source of birds.
I have checked out hunting preserves such as McCollum's Hunting Preserve in Bejou and Eagle Forest Acres in Blackduck, but spendy, especially since I have the property and just need a source for birds.
And help or suggestions would be appreciated.
