I do pheasant in a slow cooker, chunks of potatoes and carrots at the base, wrap the pheasant in bacon, add a chicken stock pot, and a small onion, leave on low from 8am until i get home from work around 5.30pm, usually tastes really good! 

That is worth knowing Aled , I have got a Pheasant hanging up but I might try a couple of Partridges to begin with as I am still on work experience 

By the way , the end result look very nice to come home to after a hard days work

Where was Simon when I needed his expertise at the switching on time , the Sprouts have been in for 16 hours and just now when I had a look they had all escaped with no visual signs of not even one , with all the very good tips I have got from the kind members my next attempt should , or will be a lot better , mind you , my first attempt will still be a decent meal , can't ask for more than that .😋

I've spent longer thinking about this than any one should (doesn't mean I'm right though!). I only cook wild game two ways now, hot and fast or low and slow. For the latter, the lower and slower the better. Hate to say this, but I get much better results using a dutch oven in an electric oven rather than an electric slow cooker. Don't know why, but everyone I've spoken to agrees.  

Never add water!

I concur,  although i use a gas  oven.

Yea , I'm sure that will be edible , might try some tomorrow dinner time and then the rest for tea , I have got two nice Red legs , No J K D I haven't burnt myself I am talking about Partridges hanging up in my freezing garage , might do them for Saturdays night tea so the feelers will be out for more pointers like keeping the breasts whole  , or cutting them up ?.     MM

Quick a delicious way for doing your redlegs, fillet breast and leg off either side of breat bone,  season sea salt,  black pepper,  hot pan, olive oil,  butter,  Place skin side down,  and baste leg thigh,  when top side of breast is tepid warm turn over,  baste breast and leg, for another couple of minutes,  then turn pan off, leave to rest for 5 minutes then slice breast,  pour some pan juice over,  enjoy..

Thanks for that , I will soon be worrying about putting to much weight on instead of losing it , just got to sensible , which for me is easier said than done

Well the prof is in the pudding as they say , or in my case , we will call it , Lamb neck filet stew , t b h it wasn't that bad , if anything it was cooked for to long , I did find the Sprouts but again cooked for a lot longer than need to , the meat was tender and the dish that looked nearly full ended up about half full , more than enough for one meal and the rest is already gone , I know one thing my dog won't be sleeping in my bedroom tonight after eating the well done Sprouts , back to fish and chips tomorrow night. 

J K D would had smiled , I took two photos and on one of them the lens got covered with the steam and you couldn't see the plate let alone what was on it

That looks alright👍, like I say you can always tweak it a bit, it’s the wrong night to leave the window open after you’ve both had them sprouts 😂🤣😂😷👍

I don't mind myself , but if my dog break wind just once he will have to put his bed outside and face the weather conditions  , I am not that hard as I will put a hot water bottle in it

If either of us break wind then I am going in my spare bedroom , breathing in those fumes won't be doing my ole heart a lot of good 😋

MM, well done on the photo, you have mastered the art of "uploading"  

Looks very tasty, glad you found the sprouts.

Morning Dougy     Considering how long the Sprouts were cooking they held up very well along with the other bits and pieces , I am used in putting all the veg in my steamer and steam away for around 15 minutes , everything seem done but not overdone if you know what I mean ,so cooking something for a day was all new to me , I will do again but cut the time down by half and then see how it go , as for the photos , I would say I have half mastered it , I am sure there is a easier way and no doubt I will find it just like I did the Sprouts
