Michigan used to do what they called put and take Pheasant hunting. They released birds in certain Game Mgt units on different days of the week. The birds were usually poor flyers. This practice was discontinued decades ago.
today I went to the Hunt Club for a Quail hut (released birds) which ran, ducked for cover, flew like Grouse in the woods. Excellent birds and managed 3 Pheasants as well. for a preserve type setting these are the next best thing to truly wild birds.
I took the VHE 28 skeet then switched in the late morning to the H&H 20 and popped her cherry on upland birds
