Thread: Pheasants and Turkey as pests on Private Property [Regulations Needed]

Someone reversed the saying for NZ, but that would mean we should only be eating them May-June-July-August. That excluded 8 months of the year, vs 4 months excluded in the US. Seems a bit extreme to me. Crickets aren't chirping yet, so Turkey = Tasty.

Yeah, just check what is in their crop, if its full of grass and seeds you qre good to go, full of crickets then chuck it in the drain!
