What ought to be worrying gamekeepers and landowners is the recession. City firms are not so keen to spend money on freebies like pheasant shoots.That cause far more loss, and in substantial sums too, than the few birds that buzzards might take.
And no, very few of the pheasants shot are eaten, even if the guns manage to hit many, either by the guns themselves or their friends. Nor are they readily sold. What game dealer wants pheasants that are riddled with shot, which is how the birds often are when shot by amateurs? Not that these guns are really in the market to sell, they enjoy the shoot, for which the birds might as well be clays, having expended a lot of money for that.

No Motley, from childhood I spent many a mealtime eating pheasant; if it wasn't shot by us, it a brace or two would be brought in by anyone who'd shot on our farm. I speak from long experience . Don't have it now; I leave the pheasants here undisturbed and we don't raise any, and I'm not particularly fond of it.
A good shot doesn't fill the bird with lead. That's firstly because he's a good shot, and a secondly a good shot using a gun which doesn't spread the shot wide.

Bl**dy Countryside Alliance. They don't represent ordinary country people at all. I live on a large well known estate. Most of the people who come down for the shoots are city types and they can't shoot for toffees. I would glady shoot members of the Countryside Alliance, arrogant toffs!!!
We have buzzards in the wood behind us, lovely birds. Behind the wood they will be breeding the pheasant chicks for the shoots.
