ShooterTom Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi Put the pheasent on the ground, on it's back with its legs closer to you. Open the wings out and step on the wings. put your feet as close as u can to it's body. (also make sure the wings arnt broken as you will just end off ripping its wings off!!!) then pull the legs (hard) and everything should pull through just leaving the breast and wings attached. Oh and you might want to put some gardening gloves on when you pull the legs as the spurs can dig into your hand. Hope this is of use Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 WOW I cant see why this wouldnt work on all birds then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Fresher the bird the better as well Terry. i find the pull better when done fresh, if hung for a while you pull more legs off and if hung over night then forget it.

thegingeritalian Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 WOW I cant see why this wouldnt work on all birds then. Careful there MM, last time I tried something similar with my bird it resulted in fertilization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for your help. (I just need to learn how to find things like this. Something else to do in retirement). Would it be worth pinning this, as I am sure a lot of people would find it very useful Thanks again Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Dunno about anyone else but I find this an incredibly lazy way of doing it and verging on disrespectful to the quarry. If you can find the time to shoot them then you can find the time to present them properly, i.e plucked. But then I'm a bit daft with such things.

I do find it a bit disrespectful too, plus skinning birds makes them dry out when you cook them -unless you wrap them in bacon of course, but in hindsight if you have a lot to do it is obviously quicker. not my preffered way but each to their own. ps i hope no scumbag antis stumble on the footage though!

I'm going to second this. Only do it when a few hours old at most, otherwise it just won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick and easy and most the meat on a phezzie is on the breast anyway,a very good method for quite a few birds and forget what the antis think,at least the birds are been prepped and not wasted BB Edited January 8, 2012 by Bluebarrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 WOW I cant see why this wouldnt work on all birds then. the women round here i reckon would proberly go down the sexual assualt route if i did that !!!

To be honest I really cant see how this is disrespectful.. When pigs are slaughtered and processed they are put in a hot water bath and then span round to make all there hair come off. Sheep are also skinned as are chickens.... Its just a quick and easy way of getting to the breast meat. Just another form of it being processed Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another form of it being processed Tom It takes two miunutes to pluck a pheasants breast and then remove them its just my opinion the thing thats annoying is antis seeing stuff like that on youtube and parading it in front of everyone it doesnt do us any favours.

These clips have been doing the rounds for a couple of years,so its nothing new Dont know about you,but when ive shot a bird i dont run over and prep it straight away,i wait until later and prep together,out of sight and outta the way, this is respect for anyone who may be about and who might get offended,get my point Anyway the op has got the info he requested,plenty agree with this method how you prep your birds is down to you,but personally i dont see much difference in doing it the way posted or plucking it and pulling its innards out,its just a way of processing birds for the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Seems like a good method to me. I don't think it's any less respectful than crowning a pigeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've got 4 pheasants that have been hanging since Saturday, and I'm going to prep them tomorrow. Think I'll pluck and skin the breast and just breast them. Got a vid for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
