groach1234 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have only ever seen one white pheasant before and must say it was an ugly looking thing. more like a chicken/turkey than and nice pheasant although i do understand that you are not meant to shoot them.

Bleeh Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I was once told a story about white pheasants. A local keeper used to put down white pheasants as a bit of a money spinner, and he used to pin the story that you where not to shoot a white pheasants, as it was his daughters pet, and a beloved one if that, and if you did shoot the white pheasant, you'd be fined £100 - This was rubbish of course, he just put them down to charge anyone short sited enough to shoot at them . One faithful shoot day, a Gun came up to the keeper, and admitted he was pretty sure he'd shot the white pheasant, and handed over £100, when the walked over the peg to get the bird, there layed out was 5 white pheasants. In the end, he wasn't charged for those birds, and ended up getting 5 pheasants for £100 - not bad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White pheasants have been used as population indicators, poachers would take a white pheasant over a common chinese ringneck any day so if the keeper stopped seeing the white ones about he knew that poaching was taking place. One reason why a fine was brought in, have to rear another batch of white pheasants next year, same reason why people are sometimes fined for shooting guinea fowl on some shoots.

Marine1980 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 On my pheasent shoot we get fined £25 for the pleasure of shooting a white one! It all goes towards the end of season dinner though! Royal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaikalsRule90 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) we have white ones on our shoot to use as bird markers so we can roughly guess when we see a white one we know there are other birds in the immediate area. the guns get charged £25 for shooting one but it all goes to a cancer fund at the end of the season ps. nice setups Edited May 7, 2009 by BaikalsRule90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
