Took a Big Pheasant

<< < (2/7) > >>

JW_Halverson:
To tell cocks from hens, always check the legs for those spurs.  If it has spurs it's a cock.  Or, if you are lazy, look for all the gaudy colors, hens are brown.

Looks like a 1-year old to me.  That is a tremendous achievement Tom.  I've only had shots at pheasants with the bow twice.  Missed close but not good enough.  Also tried to shoot them in the air a couple times...that was a fail of epic proportions as well.  I suspect both John and I have favorite pheasant recipes we can get to you.  In most states you can only shoot the roosters/cocks which fortunately is what you shot.  I got my first pheasant when I was 12 years old shooting a single shot .410. Wonderful gamebird. :)

I completely forgot about the regulation that you can only shoot roosters ::) Luckily this was a rooster. I kept the wing and tail feathers and might try to do some kind of mount with that. This is only the third pheasant i have ever seen in my backyard. He might have been a little lost, but i took care of that ;D

gstoneberg:
He was just coming by for dinner. ;D ;D ;D ;D

youngbowyer:
 ;) Got any tasty recipes for me George?
