not as silly as you thinkas only about 5% of the UK phesants are actually wild, by holding phesant shoots during the hunting season people have to look after the stock they are going to shoot (which the number they are allowed is restricted). they all roam free during the day anyway, it's only at night the come together to roost and feed in their pens, which also help protect them from foxes.
