I train my Llewellins Setters and American Brittany s' with Black Mutant pheasants and can hunt these year round.
Black Mutants are just a Black Ring Necked Pheasant, and is not regulated, it's great!
You should try year round hunting with Black Mutant Pheasants!
During the appropriate seasons I hunt with Bob Whites, which I also raise.
I am currently training two Llewellin s' and two Brittany s'.
