Released bird hunting, also known as preserve or game bird hunting, is a form of hunting where game birds are raised in captivity and released into designated hunting areas for sportsmen to pursue. This practice is often conducted on private game preserves or hunting estates. Game birds such as pheasants, quail, and partridges are commonly raised in controlled environments, where they are released for hunters to pursue and harvest during the hunting season. Released bird hunting provides hunters with the opportunity to experience a simulated natural hunting environment while enjoying the sport of bird hunting. Hunters typically traverse the designated hunting areas, either on foot or with the assistance of hunting dogs, to flush out and pursue the released birds. This type of hunting allows for a controlled and regulated hunting experience, contributing to conservation efforts and supporting the economic sustainability of game preserves. It provides a recreational and social activity for hunters while promoting wildlife habitat management and the conservation of game bird populations.
