but the reason given for not employing locals more is that they don't want to have the locals familiar with their patch, and where the pheasants, etc., are

............and they wonder why the locals are scornful and unhelpful ?? Hoi polloi, and all that, y'know ?
So, at the end of the day, is it right to say that in appropriate season, and if on his own land, his garden or suchlike, then Filterhoose could have the pheasants ?
Method though ? I mean you can walk up to those daft birds and drop a jacket over them. They just coorie down and a moment later their necks can be snapped and they're on the way to becoming dinner.........or is that, "unsporting!", and therefore illegal too ?
I didn't know that guddling for fish was illegal until recently...........because the stupidity of the law is focused on 'sport' not on dinner on the table

p.s. Bushwhacker, no offence intended to your neighbours trying to make a living from small lands, that's not really the case where Filterhoose lives though.
