Pheasants should be hung by the neck I've done my fair share of game shooting in the past, uncles of mine who showed me the way would say that a pheasant should be hung till it falls down

I'll nip out and hang the other way

Yer hang it by the neck , maggots will exit easier , don't leave it to long , there's tender and just rotting!!!

It varies on how old the bird is and what the climates like. The younger the bird the shorter the time , older can be left longer. The longer you leave it the gamier it'll taste. I'd say at this climate 3/4 days would do it, but it all comes down to personal choice

I once shot a pigeon with the aim of eating it, but when I picked it up, i got over come with guilt and couldn't eat it! Supposed to be tasty tho

 

[Ttt1601]

[LM]

Wood pigeon yes!

 

[Ttt1601]

[Flintstone]

[Ttt1601]

Yea I live about 20 yards from crop fields things are everywhere here, but got my old boy (dog) trained, drop the pigeon word and he jumps up and gets at them, well I say jumps up he's 12 now so slowly slides off the sofa and ambles to the door, but still does the job lol
