Sorry Mr. Pheasant, you'll have to wait. It's turkey season!

Yep, no turkeys around here, and pheasants are out of season.  Just as well--pheasants are great eating, but plucking one always felt sort of like scraping the Mona Lisa.  A few minutes before I grabbed my camera, he was just shining in the sun.  There aren't too many birds that can hang with a rooster pheasant in the looks department.

well i dont pluck them. I want to try but my hunting buddies never do. I just take the pheasant, put its back on the ground, step on the wings as close to the body as i can, take the legs and pull. out comes the guts, then i tear the skin off of it, exposing the breast. i cut the breast out and then move on to the legs.
