DT:

they act like quail and are wonderful birds to hunt. very hard to get

john:

i do about 25 on my own land, only during training with sako. othervice i shoot 3-500 pheasant a year, due the fact that i spend most of my time with sako working the birds to the lines of fire.
he has gotten so good that he is getting paid to show up for the hunts.(i hold his money though)
it used to be between 1000-1500 birds a year.

around here it is the man who feeds the birds the best that got them, thats why good gamekeepers come at a premium.
