In the early 80,s and for the next 20 years i usually managed a quid a bunny and £1.50 a pheasant,the dales and pheasant pens around ilkley kept me in fuel and beer tokens.I was on a pheasant shoot at Harewood in the late 90,s,beating before the elitist bashers accuse me of being something more than my class,they offered £20 a day or as many pheasants as you wished,the rest where thrown away.
