Well, it’s his job, a little sad for the birds, though!

  It is a little sad. Pheasants are beautiful creatures and I appreciate them very much. Hunting them with Blitz is part living in our natural environment. This creates a very strong a connection with our food and where it comes from.Nnothing is wasted.

  She is at her happiest when doing what she was bred to do. I would pheasant hunt without them. It just wouldn’t be the same.

You have captured the dog well Tim, my favourite subject – dogs, but I find watercolour too difficult, I envy you being able to do it. I’ve just finished a collie, I’m putting it on my blog.

Very nice Tim and you’re right, nothing goes to waste. Rosemary pheasant is sooo good and I’m patiently waiting for the feathers so I can make p.t.’s (pheasant tails) and crawdad patterns to catch those wild rainbows with!
