Pheasant Nicknames

[timbuk2]

cocks, cacks, rudies, ditch chickens,

 

[landman]

I've also heard them called "dead bird". Quite often in fact, probably more than any other name. At least my dog thinks that is what we call them most of the time.

here at this residence we call them lunch and or dinner depending

 

[niceshot]

I've also heard them called "dead bird".

Isn't it funny that when the bird is actually dead our dogs usually have no problem fetching it, but when a peppered rooster is running around the slew like a Tasmanian devil we repeatedly yell dead bird like a madman. Our dogs must think we're crazy. Sometimes on the verge of tears I plead with the pheasant gods "dedbrrrd!!!!".

pecker heads

 

[ncpheasant]

When I make that perfect shot he's "Mr. Wiley Rooster"


When I miss that easy shot he's that "Gosh Darn Sneaky Bastard" (slightly cleaned up)

SOB..when he's flying away after I miss him and my gun is empty

 

[Mild Bill]

I've heard pheasants called ditch chickens and ruffed grouse called thunder chickens.
