|
i was given two pheassies and they are now in the pot.
an observation was that the girl was shot with 3 pellets 2 of which would have been quickly fatal.
the boy has about 10 holes,shattered legs,internal mincing etc.he looks like roadkill which is ok in stew but would disappoint as a roaster.
i think my point is that with a choked shotgun it is best to have a bit of distance to the target otherwise it looks like it was got with a grenade.
they smell yummy though as they have only been hung for 2 days rather than being off as i think of it. |

Sometimes its dogs which do the damage when pheasants/partridges are being picked up. We have one particular Labrador on our shoot, which liquidizes everything it can get its teeth into; doesn't matter whether it's dead or alive. We normally have to check through the birds at the end of the day to see which he has 'retrieved'. |

yep ive seen that as well my yellow hell hound was rather hard mouthed until the bird expired (he didnt need em shot or run over first ,lurking in a bush was good enough) this one was shot from vertically below at about 10 m .
very yummy (and ki got the legs)  |
