Wilksy II Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 I shot this handsome chap on Saturday just wondered if anyone has seen one like him?sorry the picture isn’t great but his markings and tail are all as they should be just light brown like a hen and his head is the colour of a normal cock pheasant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 The colouration is not unusual for a hermaphrodite pheasant. What is unusual is that you managed to shoot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rather pleased with myself, but even more so that I managed to upload the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I once was on a driven day and as it was end of season even white pheasants were to be shot. At the end of the day the keeper even managed to brace up a melanistic cock with a white hen. Which I took home. Neither tasted any different to a normal plumage cock or hen.
