Pheasants loose on the road

its a bird yet it wont fly out the way then its gonna get hit so we should hit it if then it flys aways we've helped it but if it doesnt thn its helped me pheasent for tea!

Shoot you pheasant on the highway and take it, your roadkill is poaching. Run the pheasant down and that is merely a traffic accident, and you can keep the pheasant.

I aim for the little sh*ts when they get in my way!

I understand your views, however only 7% of motorists have had collisions with involving phaesants. (none of the above may be true)

Whoever wrote this does NOT know what they are on about!!!!!!!!

You have no idea what the hell you are on about. You obviously DONT come from the countryside and DONT understand why pheasents are bred. So before you come out with simething as stupid as that! THINK WHY FIRST!!!

The most dangerous thing about pheasants in the road is anybody that tries to avoid them by coming to a "grinding halt" or swerving violently to avoid them , as many surviving birds are likely to be shot for the pot anyway. Also road kill provides food for other birds, lazy fox's and other creatures.

Yes MsC, I understand what you are saying but you missed my point!

If you ran into a deer in your 'vette and hit it full in the legs where do you think it would end up?
Would you survive?

Yes grumpywoman true there are big things that run out but Thank God for full coverage lol or if Im in my escalade which is alot safer for me against larger animals there mine too lol but I will try to brake for a deer only if no cars are behind and the situation is safe but as you know its hard to know when there coming out in the road..Havre a great day all! by the way I just bought a pair of driving moccasins mmmmm god there so comfy.. now my foot is always to the floor lol

The problem is, MsCorvette, sometime you will run over something a bit bigger which will damage your car at the very least!

I've always learned never to swerve and not to brake because you can cause accidents. I know it sounds mean but stay staright in your lane and keep your foot on the gas and go! I drive a new 08 vette (my foot is always to the floor hehe) and I hate when things run out because of how low it is but it is what it is.

I can tell you, as an accident investigator, pheasants cropped up quite a lot in accidents in rural locations. They are EXTREMELY dim, but so many animals are hit on the roads. Look at the rabbits, hedgehogs or foxes. Most people swerve as an instinct.

There is a pheasant pecking itself in a fight to the death with his reflection in a mirror in my garden as I type (hence my coming across your blog whilst googling pheasant behaviour). Shame, as I leave out seed for him to eat but he lost interest when he discovered his "adversary".
