tom9284 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 hi can anyone tell me whens the best time to de-breast / crown a pigeon. i went shooting last night and got back quite late so i put the pigeons i'd brought home in the fridge. I have de-breasted a couple this morning but it seemed to be hard work is this because they are cold? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushpower Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I dont take birds home todo any more what with the mess and it seems to take alot longer. I do mine just before packing up,rip wings off ,thumb under the sternum and pull back and off,leaving adouble breast/crown then run a knife down each side and fillets in a bag or tupperware to take home and sort. I did 30 birds yesterday in 10-15 minutes ,have a bottle water ready to rinse knife and hands off. Best to do them just inside awood or hedge ,so simple and easy .

point and shoot Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 This idea may suit hushpower, but leaving heaps of mutilated pigeons, and in this weather stinking in heaps all over the place does not show us in a very good light!

huffhuff Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I don't think he's saying leave the pigeons in the hedge, but prep them there... then placing waste in bags for disposal in the correct manner I crowned some the other day which were all cooled overnight. It surely is a wee bit tougher but not a great deal. However, my weak wrists gave up at the 130 mark.
