I always found it amusing driving to work after they'd let the pheasants out as the ones round here flock on the road. I used to drive through sitting with my hand on the horn to clear them off the road. Within a few weeks they'd either learnt or died... Bob loved this time of year to as the partridge are out in force and like to fly down the round in front of the car.

I have hit many a rabbit, pheasant, pigeon and hare due to the roads I mostly travel on and the animals unfortunate suicidal tendencies. The hares both threw themselves out in front of the car from the verge! I must say as well that if I am at all in doubt as to whether the animal is dead I will reverse back over it. It's bad enough hitting them let alone leaving them to suffer.

The real pests of the coutryside?? Humans. We can be sooo bad.

A pheasant committed hara kiri in my car a few months ago, it went went right through my fog lamp.

I wouldnt be braking or swerving!

So it's ok to brake for native species, but anything else, .....

Lighten up It was said tongue in cheek.

You're doing it all wrong.

8 hours in a slow cooker in red wine and garic. Scrummy.

You need to be aiming at em. I can't hit em for the life of me so, don't swerve the chances of hitting em are pretty slim.

Lighten up, my post was in the same vein.

My OH, when I had only just met him, called me on the way home from work once to say he had hit a deer and was bringing it home to butcher it.

He arrived, opened the boot......and the deer sprang out on top of him!!!!! Was an eye opener and a half to see a guy you just met wrestle a fully grown deer

OMG

Did you say, MY DARLING you are so STROOOOOOONG!
