    With regards to road kill, the same could be said for rabbits could it not?

    How much more of a challenge do you want when trying to hit a bobbing pheasants head at a reasonable range? No different than shooting decoyed pigeons on stubble.

    Same here, I find shooting pheasants more difficult than rabbits, but the best fun is to be had when the neighbours have a shoot on, wait till they land on our land then shoot them and then walk along the boundary ditch and give the game keeper a cheery wave

    Back in the early 90s I was taking a new girlfriend(turns out She was a fluffy bunny/kitten lover) for a spin in my Escort Cosworth. Just as i floored it for the first time a suicidal Cock bird launced itself from the verge. Bang, big cloud of feathers and a rather loud S##T from me. Is it ok she shrieked, out i jump and quickly back in yes not even a scratch i said.
