Hunting pheasant with a car, roadkill

Fair game on the road
It happens all too often, you're driving along the road in your car minding your own business then WHAM! You've got one dead pheasant stuck on your radiator grill. Take it home and grill it properly? Now that's pheasant hunting!

Why do these dozy birds always get in the way? On my way to work this morning I took I slightly different route than usual and on one particular road there were pheasants everywhere.

| 11-4-2008 | For the record, pheasant are bred for the guns and released from their pens into the wild a few days before the season starts on October 1st. The season ends February 1st. Those birds still at large have managed to avoid being shot! They live as wild birds but most responsible gamekeepers will still...more | Rezza |
| 24-3-2008 | Pheasants are indeed bred, very commercially. As for their suicidal tendencies on the road - if you knew you'd been bred just to be shot by some Hooray henry for kicks, you too might think "flip that" and run in front of a car. | zog |
| 23-12-2007 | Are you for real? Pheasants arent bred, theyre a naturalised species & have been for decades-its no ones responsibilty to keep them 'locked up' as you put it. I suppose you think all the pigeons in the uk are the result of some pesky show breeder & that your fruit, meat & veg all...more | Pee-zants |
| 05-11-2007 | I was only talking about birds, since they are always on the road, I would really panic if it was a huge stag!
All Im saying is that I would rather (if I had to) hit a bird than cause an accident and hurt humans.
When I say humans, I mean the average law abiding person, not scum such as Ian Huntl...more | ... |

"I think most sane people in this world would say that humans are more important than birds"
Yeah, I'll save the neck of double child killer Ian Huntley over a pheasant any day of the week.
You may sit there and type along on how only an idiot ...more | Si |
| 05-11-2007 | This is a discussion about birds running in front of cars, not humans.
I think most sane people in this world would say that humans are more important than birds, not that we should aim for birds, but if when driving along one runs out in front of you, only an idiot would swerve or do an emergency ...more | response to "Si" |
| 05-11-2007 | "the life of a human is more imortant than that of a bird!" Who made you creater of all life on earth?
"They can cause serious accidents" Oh, and I suppose humans don't cause any at all.
You, sir, are a norb. | Si from Harwich |
| 05-11-2007 | I totaly agree with keeping pheasants in a certain area away from roads even if this does mean locking up because at the end of the day the life of a human is more imortant than that of a bird! They can cause serious accidents. For example yesterday I was driving along a country road and one dashed ...more | sensible person |
| 03-11-2007 | I just have to say that the person below saying that it is illegal to take "evasive" action due to the presence of small animals on the road, needs their head checking! If you are driving on a country road then you should prepare yourself for the fact that animals are running around, there...more | Corinna |
| 19-8-2007 | I quite like pheasants- very tasty!. On the serious side, get used to pheasants wondering around randomly in the countryside, if you can't, take the bus!. | WhatHappenedWas |
| 25-3-2007 | who is this person who 'gripes' about such random things as pheasants being loose on roads? I mean why do you care? there are much more important things going on in the world that people should make a stand about than pheasants being loose on roads like children starving in africa. I can und...more | *//^*-...-*^\\* |
| 10-2-2007 | A Dead Pheasants' Society should be set up, one dedicated to collecting the flesh of wild animals found as roadkill by the side of our highways and byways. Such a Society could dine in style once a week, and when we dine I mean the full works - dinner jacket speeches, toastmasters, the lot.
