She'd probably never let you forget about it if you did...UndercoverElephant wrote:I'd be tempted. I wouldn't though, as Mrs. Elephant is a vegefarian.0 -

Hugely, every time I see one.
Is everyone aware of that legal distinction that allows you to pick a dead pheasant up if you chance upon one, but if you kill it through your own actions, legally you have to leave it?0 -

Play on words, rather than a typo. She doesn't have dreadlocks, for the record.0 -

Thought it might be, then glanced down and noticed that F is just below T on the keyboard so wondered.
@ CiB: Except of course if those actions involve a shotgun and a beater, or does it still apply then, and you can only take someone else's home?1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Colleague of mine who lives in Yorkshire is well known for his roadkill penchant. No idea as to the legalities, but can't really see how you'd get caught anyway.

Surely riding down the road with roadkill strapped to your back may increase the chances of being caught!
"good evening sir may i enquire so how such a creature is strapped to your back?"
yea goodluck with that :P
Only roadkill I get to see on the road are pigeons... I'm not THAT exciting about scooping it off the road to be honest.0 -
It's definitely pheasant season, I startled several while out for a cheeky little lunchtime MTB jaunt.
How would having a pheasant strapped to your back affect your FCN ? Surely it's got to demonstrate your being hgh up the food chain ?Misguided Idealist0 -
Nah. I don't much care for pheasant. I did accidentally pull one's head off while trying to end its suffering (we hit it with a car) though. Gave that to a chef 'cos he likes pheasant more than me.
Now, could I get a deer on the rack?Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.0 -
Chaps! Are you cavemen?! It's dead! WTF would you pick up a dead thing with a view to eating it?

Coming back from celebrating the chef's birthday in a bar in the Massif Central, we ran over a coypu. Absolutely no idea what a coypu was doing up in the hills but chef took it as a sign from Dieu. Steeped it for a couple of days in its own blood and red wine for a few days and then served it up as a ''civet'' for the Auberge meal of the day. Tough as old boots...
If you ever run over a coypu, it really isn't worth stopping....

Chap! Are you a pansy? It's mostly dead. Because it's tasty!
And frankly it strikes me as more wholesome and... 'honest' than something that's been skinned, quartered and shrink-wrapped in a factory.

First of all it's more beaver than rat and, let's face it, lots of us have happily eaten beaver.
Second, the chickens must have escaped between the 2 wheels.0 -
I don't see too many dead pheasants in central and south east London. The beaver idea sounds much more appealing :Pdeptfordmarmoset wrote:[First of all it's more beaver than rat and, let's face it, lots of us have happily eaten beaver."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

What about the dead rat?
Lady cycling beside me on last week's club ride ran over one and then punctured about 30 seconds later. We got to change a tyre decorated with rat innards.The Stable '04 Trek 1000 | '09 Giant Bowery '72 | '10 Ridgeback Panorma | '10 Cannondale CAAD9 105 Compact0 -

I'm vegetarian. But I don't think I'd pick up a carrot after I'd run over it.Riding on 5310
