This particular chap decided what we were doing was "wrong" so took it in his own hands to just vandalize the pen. The trail cam will be in place before birds go in the pen this year!

Definitely only a few birds around but their around for a reason
Wary birds that know where to get away and the likes.
Was after such this morning and went for a walk for pheasants after.was out for 5 hours total with no sign of a pheasant.
Then out of spite I met a nice long tailed bird on the way home roughly 60 yards from my door at the road!!

Im up around Arles, plenty of nice land around but very scarce on the pheasant front, ah well i may keep looking

So do foxes badgers & rabbits. Does that make them tame?

i see pheasants on the road and there are 100% wild the minit they see movement there bolted like road runner, i think its the lack of ditchs well in my area any way. i also see alot of hens with chicks during the summer months on the roads awell but funny enough ive never seen a died pheasant on the road . met 6 hens and 4 cocks while out yesterday and was only out for 3hrs still birds knocking about the place.

??? Tame animals approach moving vehicles? I'd say its more like headlights stun them and then they bolt across the road getting hit.

Was out today because work decided to call me back "despite me telling them I wanted till February off" but any-who three cocks pheasants broke over me with the gun broke:(never in all the years I've shot that area has it held anything and today it held 3. Sh#t load of hens out too so next year pending good summer should be good, long story short got notting today except one annoyingly loud magpie lifted from a tree at 10 yards the little shiit.
Anyway that's my season over till next year:( safe shooting and best of look with the last two weeks lads.
