wickedandlazee Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Here's my first go - pics before and after of dressing a hen pheasant my mate dropped round. Thanks for pointing me towards your pinned topic on dressing of birds HenryD as the old maxim goes - a picture speaks a thousand words. Also having tried plucking one first then skinning one its defnietly skinning for me - so much bloody easier before after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hmm is it october already? Yes indeed, I was thinking that too. I think he picked the bird up from a farmers market..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedandlazee Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 It was a case of a mercy killing as it had been hit by a car or something so he put it out of its misery as opposed to shooting it. No fear of shooting out of season Good thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Glad it was of some use,now what are you going to do to it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestbry Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 looks like a poult to me u sure its not been feeding on pellets with additives in the pellets ? did u check its crop? But u might be lucky as some areas start shooting oct 1st, so should be early well grown birds. That looks like a poult but i might be wrong lol Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 has anyone noticed the headline in the newspaper in the first picture sounds a bit suspect to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedandlazee Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 - what a headline never noticed that :lol:As for what i am going to do next i am going to eat it probably roast it with roast tatties and maybe parsnips if i can get any plus stuffing, sprouts and peas,gravy and mash - thats should do it although i am open to ideas :blink: i shall peruse the recipes section. Nothing suspect about this post though As for the peg well thats for purely deviant sexual practices p.s. - checked the crop-full of what looked like grass seed or something similar certainly no pellets.
