mak -> WHY SO many dead pheasants!? (May 9 2008 12:01:04)

This is a really random posts but I do a lot of driving up and down the M40 for work.

I couldn't help noticing that there are literlly hundreds of dead pheasants in the central reservation.

Now I could understand that a bird could get clipped by a car , get injured and crawl to the middle and die.... but this isn't one or two it's literally hundreds!


Can someone explain this?!


erekose -> RE: WHY SO many dead pheasants!? (May 9 2008 12:03:12)

Yes - they are bloody stupid birds! Seriously dumb.

It's the same where I live - they are always wandering around in the road and getting hit.

Fortunately they taste nice.

I'd imagine a bird getting hit by a car at 70mph would just spalt very quickly, how do so many make it to the middle intact!

One stepped out in front of my car a few weeks back. I tried to veer onto the other carriageway to avoid it but ended up clattering it. Anyone driving behind me would have probably thought I'd purposely driven into it as I was on the opposite side of the road when I hit it, but I was trying not to hit it.

It caved in my fog light too.

Did it have a kamikaze bandanner on?

I hit a duck at 30, it went over my car and was in the road, it was fine tho, i stopped and spent about 30 minutes trying to direct it to the pond next to the road, but it kept running away and quaking, i just left it after that cause it was 1am in the morning and there was houses opposite and i looked like i was trying to capture it to eat it.


seanius -> RE: WHY SO many dead pheasants!? (May 9 2008 12:17:06)

Completey dumb.
I was driving down a country road and one ran out in front but made it to the other side, as I got nearer it decide to run back into the road and straight into my car.


mak -> RE: WHY SO many dead pheasants!? (May 9 2008 12:19:16)



That surprises me cause that advert about road safety makes it out that at 40 you'd a kill a person... I'd imagine a duck is far more fragile than a person.

didnt really think of it like that to be honest, i felt like a nob when i hit it tho, i didnt even see it at least it was ok tho.

Dashed commoners kept getting in front of my Rolls so I had to bag a few with my 12 bore what.

ticteaser -> RE: WHY SO many dead pheasants!? (May 9 2008 14:09:47)

They truly are the most stupid birds in the world. They will run for as long as is physically possible before shifting their fat arses into the air, thus shoots need beaters to encourage them to actually fly.


Rasputin -> RE: WHY SO many dead pheasants!? (May 9 2008 15:13:09)

ITs probably got something to do with the shooting season ending and now there all looking for mates in the summer etc .

ps Apparantly its illegal to get out of the car and pick up the dead pheasent if you have hit it only the car behind is allowed not to sure if its true or not .

Aaah, it's pheasants we're talking about - for a moment I thought I'd wondered into a thread about blondes... [;)]

Hmm are you sure? The birds I bagged were just under 6 foot. I've got one mounted on the spit roast as we speak.

I think you're confusing them with ostriches - easy mistake to make. [;)]

btw - they're tasty too!
