Sexist

[OrangeHopper]

I must be sexist!

On the way home through pheasant country, doing a fair lick, I enter a straight stretch to observe a hen pheasant coming out of the righthand hedge and ambling slowly into my lane.

So what do I do?

Well, I have already found one new dent in the car that afternoon so I decided two in one day is not good for my mood and, seeing that the oncoming lane is free, decide to 'overtake' said pheasantess.

Just as I start to cross the white lines, what do I see coming out of the hedge but her male companion.

Oh dear, fawn feathers everywhere.

Damn, I thought this was going to disappear like feathers on the wind.

Found a very adequate supply stuck to the radiator grill thank you. That's the pheasant tails sorted.

Bagged a couple of hares today so that's the grhe supply up and running.

Need a few muddlers so have you the odd deer hide spare?

good grief. well i hope your piscatorial tally matches the vertebrates. i'm amazed there's anything left breathing down there. deer hide - i know the keeper at the auchlyne estate. he's a dab hand with a .308 and his freezer is never empty...
