    Quick one lads. Is it usually this time f year that they're breeding or is it done already?
    Reason I'm asking is yesterday I seen 4 cock pheasants in one field and in another seen 2.
    Seen two hens in a field last week aswell.
    Yet hardly seen any during hunting season ( always the way huh )
    But is it started already?

    There's no club on this land and only a couple of people shoot rabbits on it.
    These are more than likely wild lads which there is a good few about.
    Would they be just a couple of bachelors
