| Résumé : | Owing to the long-term decline of wild gamebird populations and the advances on poultry production, rearing has become increasingly popular for put-and-take shooting rather than for re-establishing wild populations. Although hunters may prefer shooting wild gamebirds, reared ones ensure hunting bags at a reasonable cost; hence the majority of gamebird shooting in Europe, either commercial or non-commercial, rely on reared birds. This chapter reviews current knowledge on gamebird rearing and releasing, with a special focus on red-legged partridges. |
