Pheasants take flight into the surrounding area of the South Hills, July 8. After four weeks of minimal human contact, the pheasants quickly disperse to hide. Wildlife group releases pheasants in the Magic Valley By Andrew Weeks Times-News writer

A number of pheasants are being released in the Magic Valley in an effort to help repopulate areas with the game birds. The birds will be released in at least five locations through- out the summer, according to Doug Palmer, a member of the Idaho Chapter of Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, the conser- vation group releasing the birds. Birds have already been released in at least two locations — on property south of Twin Falls and in an area near Balanced Rock in Castleford. After growing for four to five weeks in a surrogator, about 75 pheasants prepare to enter the Rex Williams ranch in the South “We’re doing this not only for hunters, but for farmers and Hills area. ranchers as well,”Palmer said. “It also ties in to helping local businesses, such as sporting goods stores.” Increasing the pheasant population will help entice hunters to the area, he said, noting that more hunters means more revenue. Doug Ranch owner Rex Williams said he remembers a time when the Photos by Palmer, a fields were filled with pheasants — and the motels with hunters.
