Division Offers Pheasants For Sale

December 3, 2015

The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife's Rockport Pheasant Farm has had another banner year raising our "Rockport Rockets" and will be offering 1,500 pheasants for sale to individuals for release on their own favorite hunting locations. These birds are in addition to the scheduled 55,000 birds normally stocked and extra birds on 23 Wildlife Management Areas for Pheasant and Quail Stamp buyers.

Revenue from these sales will go directly towards replacing outdoor pen netting to reduce mortality during winter storms.

In order to guarantee a supply of birds for the regular stocking program offered to Pheasant and Quail Stamp buyers on Wildlife Management Areas (55,000 birds), we will be selling pheasants on a first come, first served basis beginning December 14, 2015.

Both male and female birds will be available. Prices for cocks and hens $12.00 and $11.00, respectively. There is a minimum order of 20 birds. Buyers will need to supply their own transport boxes or purchase cardboard transport boxes at the Rockport Farm when picking up their birds (at a cost of $6/box; each box holds 5 pheasants).

Payment is required upon receipt of birds and must be in the form of a check or money order payable to NJDFW. (No cash payments will be accepted.) Pheasant Farm pick-up hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Order forms will be available at the farm, but purchasers are advised to complete and print the form below to speed the purchase process.
