Field dressing game birds.

[amishboy]

We have all seen the various videos of how to field dress a pheasant (here is a particularly good one from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X5o1JKvFRs

 

Can you do a similar field dressing for say, duck, goose, grouse etc?

_{Very impressive and probably the best way to do a large number of pheasants very quickly.}

Nice to see one that uses the legs to

To answer your question mate, no it doesn't work on any of the above, never tried on grouse though but would never just breast a bird like that. I tried it with a duck the season just gone and it just wasn't happening, their a lot tougher

Have done similar to a duck as you cut a slit just above brest insert index & middle finger under brest bone make cut just below bottom of ribs & put two fingers in & pull upwards you then have just the brest meat & wings that you take off, may well work with pigeons as well will give it go next time i shoot one.

That method works very well on pigeons too, I twist off the wings first though.

Cool thought it would nice & clean & fox bait to boot.

With pigeons you don't even need a knife, you only need to twist off the wings close to the body, tear skin between breast and crop, insert a finger into the chest cavity and pull hard. Peel of the rest of the skin and you have a clean pigeon crown. I'm sure there are videos on youtube.

Here you go, Easy after a couple of times but i find it easier if i cut the wings of with good scissors. Damages meat less
