1st Pheasant - how to cook????

[mklaver]

Hi All - I got hooked on bird hunting as an invite to a dove hunting trip in Yuma AZ 2 years ago, and then came home and became a waterfowl hunter. So I was out in the rain this afternoon looking for ducks and didn't drop any, but wound up with my first pheasant.

Question is - now how to cook it? Anybody have luck just plucking and roasting like a chicken, or is it too tough and gamey?

Or, like waterfowl, is marinating and/or sauces the way to go?

Cheers,

Michael

where you find a pheasant?

Delta..........

[pnbrock]

hmmm were you hunting associated property?

[mklaver]

not at all. East Delta. Public land. Why would you assume that?????

[pnbrock]

lots of assoc property in east delta ,not much of a wild population with the coyote population is all.

Seen plenty of assc birds on non-assc leased fields in Delta.

One less with me out there now...... Just about hit one with my car leaving my site, so I guess the coyotes didn't get 'em all......
Pure public land is where I was- so what the heck is "Associated land"? I thought you were talking Westham.....

First time tasting ? Forget the fancy over-spiced recipes, cut in chunks for gentle pan frying, and taste the real thing IMO
When you don't like that, then go goormay with the next one.
