Saw a pheasant today.

I was talking to another dog owner today, told him about the pheasant at the Esso and he mentioned he goes to a butcher east of Stouffville. Told me that in the field behind the butcher's farmhouse he saw a flock of pheasants. I don't know this dog owner so I don't know if he can identify what a pheasant looks like or not. Maybe its a flock of wild turkeys at a distance.

Wonder how many remember when you could hunt pheasant at Darlington Park?

Not the first time I have heard about LEOs doing sketchy crap with guns because they were cops and who would say anything, nice to know it is all over.

Theres a brave rooster that is attracted to vehicles. He will fly towards my truck, land right in my headlights and not move. 5 times I got out to chase him off the road but he would run away, soon as I'm back in the truck he would be standing in front of my truck.

Got mad and drove over him....look in rearview and he's still standing there! Dumb birds, If I still had a dog I'd go hunt them.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9e85afd145.jpg
