Lagopus, I always thought it was because the birds had not fully matured to full flight capability and it was not sporting to shoot the low birds - which I don't anyway!
Again OT, I was raised in Leicestershire, schooled in Derbyshire, work in London and live in Essex. I'm glad to say I believe most folk understand my accent!

Tim, I added that as our American cousins may think it odd that we don't start as soon as the season opens. True pheasant do need a bit more time to get strong on the wing for driven shoots where they are this years poults.
I originate from north Derbyshire but now live in west Derbyshire. If you were schooled in the county from Leicestershire I suspect you are possibly an old Reptonian. Lagopus.....

Excellent school. Schooled in the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Mercia. Repton School; caning kids since 1557!
Salopian, that's East Derbyshire from Ilkeston north to Chesterfield. Seems to be a term used in the old coal mining areas. Lagopus.....
