      Far as I know wild... did not have the fat you likely see on the "put an takers". But I did not take them..a bud got 'em from a bud thing... the 2nd bud saying "They ain't really all that good". I think he needs a lesson er two ;{)

        not kidding I was just thinking yesterday about your brine and pheasant. How do the legs turn out? Couple friends complain about them and just harvest the breast. I don't like to waste anything I kill if I can help it. Haven't had it in years our population is way down. Anyways, that looks great.

            I love Flagstaff. I'm never moving again. But pheasant hunting in Wisconsin and Iowa, and the good eating that came after, is one of the truly pleasant memories I have of the frozen tundra.

                  Looks Awesome, Rich !!!

                  Very few Ringnecks around here any more. Farmers are too efficient (very few fence lines & such), and so are the Foxes & Coyotes.
                  Big Woods birds (Turkeys) took over.

                          Smoked pheasant under glass...a mythic classic...the food of kings, 'twas told.

                          It's REALLY good tho Beck. If ya get the chance, give it a run. Bet it would be nice finished in a white wine reduction in one of those magic cast iron thingies you pull miracles out of regulary...

                            Looking good Rich!
                            We just save breast and thigh meat from pheasants, our experience with birds from our area the legs and wings are mostly tendons and musle with very little meat. For us just saving breasts and thighs sure takes up less freezer room than the entire bird.

                              I wish I could take those legs off your hands each season. They are the bomb braised. Most people round here don't take the legs off geese which is a crime in my book. Years ago I cleaned 22 mallards by myself (I didn't shoot'em all but I got all of them). I even skinned all the legs and thighs and had a huge pile of them. Saved them for a special meal for the folks and like said above, they were the bomb braised. Yea - they are extra work but only a few extra beers time.
