timmytree Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Interestingly I've noticed a higher than usual number of hen pheasants on the side of the road this spring. Maybe there are fewer male pheasants this year or maybe it's the hens that are doing the chasing round our way...?? They're the butch lesbians.

Psyxologos Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Its a Land Rover, they don't do getting your foot down. Not unless you want said foot to go through the rotten undercarriage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Pheasants at this time of year have only one thing on their mind females and fighting, One thing? Have you ever commentated on football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Not unless you want said foot to go through the rotten undercarriage... It's a Land Rover, not an aeroplane, and it's called a bulkhead. Not all bulkheads are rotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh1 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 few lads around here give me a call when there`s a deer hit, bit of knife work, throw it in the back of the truck and hope there`s enough space in the freezer!! You should be very wary taking road kill deer as you do not know what has happened to it,,it could have been poisoned and woundered into the road,or it might have been injured and a vet called to put it down,it will then be left on the side of the road for the agencies to pick up and dispose.you run the risk of ingesting harmful and potentially lethal drugs or poison.

compo90 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Would that be close to Woburn? I believe the Muntjac first escaped from the deer park at the Abbey and they spread outwards from there. Yeap, I lived in bletchley and had ferreting and shooting permission around woburn way. I know the story was a gale in the 60's blew a tree over that put a hole in the deer park wall. 12 muntjac escaped and since then have bred to the 35000 or whatever we have wild now a days. Yes the A5 killed and injured loads, the fields I had shooting permission in had a fence/hedge around and they would get in and once injured couldn't get out, so I would often be putting them down.

One of the most important things I learned doing my DSC. Only deer taken by lawful means (shot) is to enter the food chain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaddler Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I was driving down to gatwick the other week, on the m40 on the way down most of the route it seemed there must have been a pheasant every mile dead next to the central reservation, a ridiculously high number.
