I've been reading all i can find on the site about shooting birds on the wing... there is some great stuff! Love the photos!

I'm absolutely sure there can be a difference between wild, hunting season surviving game and pen raised game but I will be thrilled to shoot a slow one out of the air in march! Lol

Actually Bisch, it can make a big diff.  Although I have never hunted wild pheas. ( I have hunted wild ducks, geese and woodcock with bow), I have hunted released birds under many different conditions. How the birds were raised and fed, weather conditions, cover type and time of year (preserves in jersey are open Sept thru March)can all make a big diff. Some birds bust out like a rocket while others can be lumbering clods.

Back when I hunted pheasant the wild birds with a season or two under their belt, would always run and avoid flying if at all possible. A Pheasant would not be that hard to hit with an arrow, if it go's up at your feet!
