How to Clean Quail

[@robertmycroft8268]

This is the best processing video I have seen, thanks!

[@highdesertexplorer123]

Good video. Never used poultry shears to clean my birds. Definitely cleaner. Thanks.

[@WhoisMichelleCollie]

theres plenty of butchering quail with scissors on youtube.

[@sheldonhighsmith3333]

Why is it law to leave a foot on?

[@ikeuwu]

sheldonhighsmith3333 most likely to prove it’s a quail & not an endangered species.

[@zorikdadoyan1479]

Game warden or ranger needs to know what game you have in your cooler if you get checked.

[@sanctusletum8522]

So this is not applicable if they are farm raised then?

[@sheldonhighsmith3333]

@@sanctusletum8522 nope! Unless you intend on taking them somewhere of the property

[@martycanaday7557]

I really appreciate this video! Quick and clear with tidy results. Quail for dinner!

Thank you for this video. Will help in the field and at home with my Coturnix =)

[@simonfarnum932]

thanks for the great video, very informative and very little waste.

[@scottm5167]

Great instructional video, thanks.

[@relaxntakecare3438]

All those quails are paid actors. I've seen alot of their work.

[@rogan70]

Very raw acting - they should go and get some quail-ifications 🤭

[@everydayoilmommies5091]

I can’t find it now but I saw a video on KZbin that looked like it was in another country. They showed everything from buying a pair of quail at a street market to cooking it. They seemed short on clean running water and they dipped the birds in a bowl of water to wet the feathers. This seemed to make hand plucking easier than with dry feathers. If I try it, I’ll update here.

[@elizabethcope1502]

Videos I watched recently used water heated to 160 F to dip birds in to moisture feathers. Don't leave in hot water more than 30 seconds.

[@C0rnBr3ad04]

Did you ever try it?

[@fubarlife7776]

Wasn't quite expecting to see this video pop up directly after the gamblers quail relocation on the golf courses. LOL We have the gamblers quail and the scrub quail here all day long on my property here in Douglas beautiful birds to listen to and watch 🤗

[@Scott_The_Not_Bot_G]

Are you Fubar1000 on 1580 the Fanatic???

[@bartacomuskidd775]

So is this a bad way to do this? or are all the downvotes people with control issues?

[@thefrontierfamily3495]

Worked great for some grouse I got today! Thanks!

[@AlexisManning]

Why do you wait to take the second foot off?

[@therrienmichael08]

I saw one method by a Texas rancher (Independence Ranch) where you pull the head off, place in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Feathers come right off.

[@throwingcatsproductions22]

Mike nhgoldprospector oh god...

[@amechelb]

I watched a video of a quail operation and they actually used a chicken plucker water bath. They all came out with almost no feathers at all in no time.

[@UndefinedBailiwick]

It's a matter of preference. If you pull the skin off by hand, you can have it done in 30 seconds if you're fast. Plus the quail is right in front of you, ready to be gutted when it's skinned. The boiler water + rotary plucker method keeps the skin on, but is slower IMO. You can get 3-4 quail into a rotary chicken plucker, but sometimes they're torn apart.

[@mitocaf1]

Jim Raynor yeah I rather do it like this guy, but it seems slow because it’s a tutorial , but like you said, if you’re fast u can knock a 10-15 in 30 mnts

[@MrCee-eq9fe]

Thanks for these videos 👍🏽👍🏽 what scissors are those?

[@acelocksmith2320]

Thanks for sharing game and fish. Love Arizona!!

[@caseyl3631]

thanks for doing this! i learned a new way today!

[@emilywilliams8447]

May I ask why you keep the extra leg on? Thanks! :)

[@BrettBeeching]

In Arizona you must leave the head, a foot, or a wing on the bird when transporting quail taken from the field. 00:28 timestamp

[@Scott_The_Not_Bot_G]

Killin me... but you asked so nicely... the viedo says its tha law!

[@spunkycerra]

thx for the tip i tried using a gut knife on this didn't work

[@earthdog1961]

Great job Jonathan!. A third and faster way is to just push your thumb into the abdomen and under the breast plate, then rip the breast off, leaving the back, wings and legs. Discard the skin and feathers of the breast and cook as a skinless breast. And 4th, the survival bush method, in the field, using the same method, reverse the thumb action and remove all the guts and innards as much as possible. Spit the bird and roast over a campfire feathers and all. When well cooked, peel the feather and skin casing away to begin your meal. Then there is also the boiling water method for removing the feathers. . . . There must be a different method for every country/culture in the world. Qual is worldwide :)

[@throwingcatsproductions22]

earthdog1961 you guys are sick.... *YOU INJOY DIS!?*

Before you ask me “oh, why did you click dis video?” *I THOUGHT IT WAS HOW TO BATHE THE QUAILS, LIKE, CLEAN THEM WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE!* T-T

[@amechelb]

Have you ever eaten meat?

[@Diseaseisreversible]

Throwing cats Productions have fun with your pet quails, make sure you don’t eat there eggs because that’s animal cruelty.

[@throwingcatsproductions22]

Matthew Gallego we don’t eat the eggs... one of my parents friends eat them

[@ianmcmanus3078]

How did you kill the birds? I saw another video where he cut the head off with scissors while it was alive. Didn't look "right"! Also, what is the purpose of leaving one leg on? What does it prove and to who?

[@ie4109]

why does the leg have to be left on?

[@justwired]

that's our government with their policies lol

[@zombiedad1830]

Basically to identify

[@lh7801]

@@zombiedad1830 Identify what? That it isn't a pregnant deer?

[@zombiedad1830]

@@lh7801 lol🤣 however Arizona Game and Fish require some type of identification of what species of bird you carry in your ice chest Happy Hunting

[@lh7801]

@@zombiedad1830 I get it. I do. But like many government regulations it seems like it's a little gray. What happens when you are ready to cook your bird out in the boonies? Do u have too keep that identifying appendage on through the cook in case a game warden comes up out of nowhere? Can a warden check your trash to make sure the leg is still attached to the uneaten remains? I'm not trying to be a troll I really want to know. To my knowledge we dont have that law in CA but I'm gonna make sure after watching this vid. I'm pretty new at this. Also I'm heading out to the hills tomorrow for a quail hunt. Let's hope for happy hunting indeed!

[@MrKjet256]

How do cook your quail?

[@ChrisPrime-g2r]

You know quell is already delicious it's pretty much all dark meat but when you stop it with the little bit of ham and swiss or your stuff it with sausage and bell pepper or sausage and jalapeno if you're like me and like spice it tastes a whole hell of a lot better

[@davudlastname2545]

Why do they need you to keep the leg on? Seems kinda weird

[@AshleyMGuenther]

I would assume it's for identification purposes if you get stopped by MNR out in the field. Kind of like when you go fishing and you need to keep part of the fish so they can identify to make sure you're fishing for what's open and what you're supposed to be!

[@raywaynebecker2367]

Why would the law say you have to keep a limb or head? For counting?

[@FloppyRunner]

I believe so they can identify the type of quail if they need to. There are different limits for different types of quail. Not positive though.

[@pullnhooks]

Great video

[@generalesdeath5836]

I love quail season!

[@ChrisPrime-g2r]

You know after you've got it delayed if you gave it a steam bath and vinegar and hot water it releases those feathers a lot easier than you can believe

[@deanguando1335]

Nice job

How do you cull them humanely I am starting my own quail farm and I have never cull anything in my entire life, I am going to cry and eat them at the same time... 😂

[@ChanceInTheWild]

Daniel Bull Runner Lamb ring their necks but these were taken while hunting

[@cryptolegend6803]

22 to the head would be an expensive but effective way to be humane. It wouldn't feel a thing, if your that concerned about it.

[@charlottewalnut3118]

Daniel Bull Runner Lamb I mean if you want to be as human as possible this is probably a rather gross way but you just have to hold the things head in between your fingers forefinger and thumb and squeeze real quick however you’re going to get brains on your hand

[@emilywilliams8447]

I use poultry shears and cut the head off. They're dead immediately

You should actually learn, it's a moutain quail, there are differnt types of quail lol

[@wayneparker9331]

Actually, it's Gambel's quail. Look closely at the video and you will see the indicators of a Gambel's quail when he first picks up a bird carcass or the camera focuses on those on the table. It might look like a California quail but the coloring is wrong for that species.

[@DavidSuttongen3d]

Okay, but this guy should know his animals lol.

[@earthdog1961]

The common quail is a small ground-nesting game bird in the pheasant family Phasianidae. There are six native species of quail are found in North America,The most common species of quail, the bobwhite is often referred to as the number one game bird of the eastern and southern United States. California Quail, also known as valley quail, California quail are the most popular of the five species of western quail. These birds have a curving crest or plume, made of six feathers, that droops forward: black in males and brown for females; the flanks are brown with white streaks. Mountain Quail is the largest quail species found in the United States. Mountain quail possess a unique characteristic of two straight feathers that arch over the back. These birds are easily recognized by their top knots, which are shorter in the female. They have a brown face and heavily white-barred underside. Gambel's Quail (shown in the video), also known as desert quail, are located in dry regions of the southwestern United States. Gambel's quail are easily recognized by their top knots and scaly plumage on their undersides. They have gray plumage on their bodies, and males have copper feathers on the top of their heads, black faces, and white stripes above their eyes.
