CHAINSAW 1 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm new to this so can anyone tell me why i saw hundreds of cock pheasants around Maltby in south yorkshire as i was driving through this morning. Did they all escape, has someone shot all the hens as there were very few. This was near roche abbey. Quote Link to post

CHAINSAW 1 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Cheers. I've seen hens in fields en mass before but never so many cocks (americans on tv excluded) in one place. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 You always see more cocks and you usually shoot more it seems. Quote Link to post
