I have a nieghbor who was looking at my pheasant pen that told me of the same stories. He told me about mowing some fields ( which he did for work at the time ) and even though it was unknown to him. He had mowed over a few pheasant nests out west. He had looked back to see the hens chopped up and felt sick of it. He had also told me of this problem and gave up that job shortly afterwards. Now living up in back of me he made a quite a few nice comments about my pheasants. Anyways folks be carefull mowing those fields out there.
