The birds are stocked. Sometimes the stocking is done the night before a hunt, sometimes the day of. But the birds can fly.

Thank you.

I know zip about hunting. What is stocking? I mean I know the normal definition, as in stocking shelves etc., but does this mean they are caged and then let go right before someone shoots them? If so, doesn't sound like much hunting to me.
