Allandoo Pheasants are Southwest Scotland, rather than central, but these people are real experts and very friendly and helpful, so can possibly help if too far themselves...

is it really stealing? we have loads of pheasants on our land but havent actually viewed them as "ours".
we had some quite friendly ones that took  the pigs feed but we shot but always regretted it as its took 5 yrs for them to come close again. they are eating the seeds or something out of the straw atm. not shooting them again.

Well if they are on your land its not but for me lifting them out of someones else's land without permission it is.

Can i come and steal yours?  ;D
