we got 4 on Thursday when we went out my neighbor got 2 and i got 2
My neighbor had some from last week so he gave us one of his So we brought 3 home , I currently have no freezer space left. so they needed to be cooked.
I pressure cooked 2 in the first batch and the 3rd in the second run
20 minutes under pressure then turn off heat let them go about 10 minutes then release , cool and pick
I made big bowl of pheasant salad with celery and onion and mayo and some seasoning I had that as a chef salad for dinner will be eating it most of the week.
the boy wanted dumplings , I didn't really have time to make a full on batch of dumplings but made gravy with all the juices in the pressure cooker and noodles and he had pheasant in a pheasant gravy with shells. so close to dumplings.
I like picking the carcass and shredding the meat it as I did find 2 more pieces of shot that I missed on the initial cleaning.
how do you fix your pheasant ?

Former member PCR2 makes a pheasant and rice dish that I hear is pretty good. I just hunted with him yesterday.
My favorite way is a baked dish involving pheasant, mushrooms and sour cream. It is a family favorite. Recipe is in one of the North American game cookbooks. I am at camp right now so can’t share the recipe.
Eh...wot?

Both pheasant and quail are a rare find in SW Nebraska anymore. Used to be teeming with both until they disappeared. Why is still a mystery.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Got a few around here, just now starting to come back. I like them stuffed into hollowed out jalepenos with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon, then grilled.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

if the state didn't stock them we might not have much here either.
everyone pays a pheasant stamp here and that $$ goes into stocking probably other money also but if they are going to spend my tax dollars on something pheasant sounds better to me than a lot of other things.

Looks like I’m going to have lots of material to experiment with and the season’s only just begun. those are some nice looking dogs , we don't have a dog , we are the dog and the shooter.

When I think of eating pheasant I always remember this story from my childhood and laugh. The women in my family would not eat game meat. Only my grandfather and I ate it. My grandfather lived next door. So often on Saturday one of us would cook some deer or pheasant to eat. One day I shot a pheasant, cleaned it, cut it up like you would cut up a chicken, and froze it in a ziploc bag until we got around to cooking it.
About a week later my mom made homemade chicken soup. She went on and on bragging to me about how it was the best chicken soup she'd ever made and she didn't know what she did different to make it so much better. Yep, you guessed it. When I went that Saturday to get my pheasant out of the freezer it was gone. I said, "Mama, what did you do with my pheasant I had in the freezer?" Her eyes got real big and her hands flew up to her mouth. It dawned on me then, and I said, "Well, I guess now you know why your chicken soup was so much better." LOL.

I’ve had a lot of very good pheasant but some years back a chef I know made up pheasant ravioli with a white mushroom cream sauce of some sort for a wild game dinner we had. Simply incredible.

I have breasted them out put them in zesty Italian dressing over night. Then grilled them on the grill. Saved the thighs boned out and used them in stir fry.which you can do with the whole bird too.

I have gotten a lot of compliments on my smoked pheasant. I inject the breasts(whole) with creole butter, add a dash of whatever seasoning you like, and cover breast meat with thin sliced bacon to act as skin. Smoke at higher temp with a fruit tree wood. I think I use 285. Remove from smoker around 150 and wrap/rest. I had a guy that had hunted pheasant for 40yrs buy a smoker after having it. Do not try without injecting...I promise. LOL

Mac I might have to try boning them out , soaking the meat over night then stir fry I don't eat bread , rice , flower , or any grains any more so I eat a Lot of stir fry. with no rice. a lot of salad also that is why I made 2 into pheasant salad I put it on salad greens with a little cheese and some salad dressing.
