of the incident of this nature about ed by insurance a i ther julius geist proprietor of graiglea farm is working with others to get the birds back in the pens by enticing them with feed but hunters are shooting the birds before they can be lured back about 150 have been recovered to date three men from ontario de partment of lands and forests as well as officers from the opp are patrolling the area and a number of charges have been laid violations including one for overlimit two for shooting from the road and five for not swearing back patches that en able hunters to be identified harry gingrldge who is chief of officers in the area said it was a hunterfarmer problem and his men were doing their best to keep the lid on it while they are doing what they can to help mr geist have a chance to preserve his business the problem is a hard one providing the hunters dont violate regulations they can do nothing what thoy can do however is to keep them way from the house off the property and charge thse vio lating the law if the birds cant be caught or shot by hunters there is lit tie chance of them surviving the winter they have always been fed know no enemy and have no real defense if mr geist doesnt recover his birds he stands to lose a total of 5000 for the birds and 1000 worth of pens several solutions have been considered including selling hunters the privilege to come on the farm for 10 that would prove expensive for rthe hunter as he would be spending 13 including license fees for a limit of three birds the only other answer failing catching he birds would be to form a posse and shoot them to sell ovenready himself nine years ago at that time the pens were supported by steel posts and an early snow bent the posts and some but not all of the birds escaped several times however hun ters have cut holes in the pens to release birds which would then become free game mr geist sold an average of 5000 or 6000 pheasants a year with his chief market being hunt clubs restaurants and hotels feathered the birds sell for 650 a pair and oven ready they sell at 7 75 loss n cover ironically en ough the cbc radio network had been out tuesday after noon to interview mr geist and took voice tapes from the buds pheasants are part of mr geists livelihood but he is seriously considering giving up this is too big a blow for the business to take all at once he explained about 500 pinioned birds with wings clipped were saved and it might be that in the future mr geist may keep all pinioned birds rather than the flyers he is the only known commercial raiser
