baw 4,360 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Come up here, on some stretches of road you can hardly see the white lines for dead pheasants. Stupid f***ing birds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 24,957 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeh but they all have your tyre marks on them.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeh but they all have your tyre marks on them....No no, I try and get them with the bumper, quick bang to the napper, lovely. I've seen as many as 8, dead at the one bit with another couple standing wondering what the f**k just happened. No crows, they know the score. They'll see you coming, grab a quick beak full of the dead pets and just hop over the white line. They know that white lines to seperate the traffic, clever as f**k, not like the pheasant. It thinks the roads a gathering spot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frann 882 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 That doctor (from Devon think it was) has picked them all up Seriously, story in Telegraph today about some doc who makes badger baltis from roadkill and feeds his family with it. His kids love it apparently. Badger balti I'd be curious lol But cops have warned folk from copying him as it might lead to bad guts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
