After an avian influenza outbreak resulted in the loss of nearly 100,000 pheasants on his farm, Mike Martz was determined to employ every measure he could to avoid a repeat occurrence.
The owner of Martz’s Gap View Hunting Preserve in Dalmatia, Pa., Martz has utilized a variety of wild-bird deterrents since the outbreak occurred in December 2023. He said he also has a depredation permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service allowing for some lethal removal of certain bird species.
