Mentalmac Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi guys, One of my landowners rang me mid morning telling me her lab pup had caught a pheasant and killed it. she was very peeved as he is undergoing training (thats all another story entirely). However, she said it's in good knick and no ripped skin etc... so she has left it in her shed tied up incase I want it. So, firstly - would it be ok to eat? Just thinking that it's been 15-16 degrees today, so would that make it bad? Secondly, it would be hard to pick up tonight - would it last until saturday in the current weather?

Cranfield Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I suggest you collect it, say "thank you very much" and dispose of it carefully in an appropriate place. I wouldn't eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I would doubt todays weather would have any particular effect, indeed it may well need a few more days. Collect it and examine it, and if you want it eat it, but as above, just dispose of it if you are not easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1steele Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 It would be safe enough to eat now but I wouldn't leave it until Saturday. It all depends on how you feel about hung meat really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest1957 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Peel it, sniff it, look for any signs of green particularly near the vent. I wouldn't hold out on it being good with the warmth and the likely damage from the attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to go over saturday morning and say thanks and take it and shoot some bunnies whilst there and probably just chuck it if it looks too gnawled.
