[V4 ~ PORT PERRY STAR --~ Wednesday, Nov. 10, 1971 Pheasant farm Sod Continued keep within gun range. And through eertain actions by the.dog, a hunter will be able to recognize atfost the precise moment when a bird will be flushed into flight. Fred keeps seven dogs on the farm nd, and his favourite is Tam, a female springer for whiéh he was once offered $1,000. **But vou couldn't buy Tara for the world," he says. On the: Brandean Farm, the 'season for pheasant runs from September 1 until March 31. From April until ~~ September, the birds for the fFcoming season are raised. The busiest time of the season on the farm is from September until the end of November, During this time, the birds are at their peak, the weather is right, and the condition of the natural coverage makes for good hunting. It is during this time, that Fred says that 150 to 200 hunters in a single week is not unusual. ' What's the attraction of the game farms? Why are they as Fred says, the "thing of the future"? Maybe Fred himself an- swers these questions when he says that a great number of the persons who come to the game farm phone and say, "I've got to get away 'from the office for a couple of hours. Put a couple of birds out for me, Fred." "People need the recreation," says Fred. country. We,re providing a recreation that's getting harder & harder to find to be able 'to walk through the fields undisturbed, and be allowed to shoot birds "without being chased off the land. A lot of the hunters have a great love for guns, hunting and dogs, but a great many simply want to get out and walk for a couple of hours." The hunting rules on the game farm are few and simple. As mentioned 5 ( 7 before, a hunter must have a dog. And a hunter on the farm _must stay in the area Tesignated to him. If "a "hunter. persists in wandering all over, Fred says, "I tell it to him straight. - Do your hunt- ing elsewhere, My re- gular customers know how I"operate and they respect ° this." As for the moral questions, Fred answers .that . his operation -is not much dif- ferent than raising sheep or beef. With the day conceivably coming when all "hunting could be banned except in the remotest areas, game farms such as the Brandean Preserve offer not only sport, but an escape from the pressures and tensions of modern life, And in case you don't know it, pheasant is mighty fine eating.
