Pen raised pheasants do have some flying ability, but the poor Bob Whites are rather lame and a hunt of pen raised Bobs is more like an Easter Egg hunt then a bird hunt. Once however we got some Tennessee Red Quail to do some training and not only did we find a number still around when we came out the next week they flew well enough to where we missed some and the ones we shot were still plumb and healthy. Unfortunately the supplier went out of business and we were never able to find another source those strong red birds.
