How To Prepare And Cook A Pheasant.(Part 1) Bird Preparation.

[@MrPearson87]

Just skinned and prepped my first 2 pheasants thanks to this video, cheers!

[@trytohelpthem1512]

Thank you for all your videos. I do little cooking but I still love your videos. These take me back to watching my Father as a child. He loved to hunt and was adamant. that all that was killed be eaten. Thanks from Virginia USA.

[@Allottedaaron]

There was a shoot recently close to where I live and around 90 birds were taken down but then buried in the earth. I was absolutely livid when I heard about it (I guess you could say I was well plucked off). The very least they could have done was to give them to a butcher or a homeless shelter. If they had setup a market stall I reckon they could have sold the lot! Waste makes me angry. I really enjoyed your video. I have to admit that I have stood there for hours and plucked 2 birds but you have convinced me there is a much better way to do things so thank you so much for that, greatly appreciated.

Complete waste of good meat

[@bwghall1]

This is all too common nowadays, folk cannot be fussed with doing them. The modern person does not know how, so let us hope they see this vid.

[@shayoseaghada4800]

WOW Scott you are awesome! I'm 58 and have watched my dad and grandfather do this from start to finish so I already had a concept. they are gone so who to ask that really understand the process and importance of a lovely end product! You made it look possible. Your presentation of the process and the out come is excellent. I was so glad to see you skirting the meat to make it lovely. Thanks!

[@TheScottReaproject]

Hi Shayron,sorry for the late reply,Thanks for your kind words,much appreciated,if you have any question ,please ask ,if you have twitter follow,me on @ScottReaProject,i will be more than happy to help,and please give it a go,its easier than you think,all the best.Scott

@@TheScottReaproject , Hello Mate. Can you tell me what model knife you use? Great videos m8! Regards

[@adamdmac3493]

I got pheasants on my land. Thanks for sharing your fantastic skills. Your saving me money for Christmas.

[@grayham6998]

I found this really useful. I came across a freshly killed pheasant (hit by a car) and thought I would try and cook it. I watched this and the whole process took me 30 mins as a beginner :)

[@67bsatroop]

Hey Scott- Thanks for the video. I've used this the last couple years for my scout troop to show them how to clean and prepare pheasants. Very well done, easily explained. The guys really like it. You make it look very simple and your instructions are great. Your educating a new generation of youth on where their food comes from and how to prepare it. Thanks again. Scott Nichols, Scout Master,Troop 67.

[@dixieken]

Hey Scott. I just harvested two pheasants and rooster from my farm birds, and your way of skinning the birds is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@georgeearst2507]

I love your work my brother. You're a man after my own heart. Your integrity is impeccable. Every one watching can truly trust your skills.

[@APerfectCircle27]

Being self taught, I was searching for a video to show me how to prepare phesant a bit cleaner & with more ease, then I found your videos. Think they are brilliant. Easy to follow and understand. Thank you for making this vid and posting :D

[@vincewise855]

Scott as a real novice i got handed a brace by our gas engineer , couldnt lose face so used your video to follow , very well presented and explained , looking forward to trying pheasant this evening.cheers!

[@billramsey3342]

I know that this video was made many years ago. But this guy is amazing. Would sure come in handy to have him as a friend. Fabulous job done. And it makes so much sense the way you do it. Thanks for an awesome video

[@tafino]

Had ones of these beauts slam into my window yesterday and end it’s journey. I couldn’t bring myself to toss it into the shrubs and serve no purpose... which is what brought me to this video! Thank you. It’s marinating now :)

[@joeinterrante7873]

Your right my friend,your method is so much better than plucking. Thank you

[@jensenscoggins3980]

Awesome video, helped me prepped my first pheasant myself cheers

[@qualqui]

Wow, 17 min. to skin two pheasants, but removing the skin doesn't effect the tastiness of the bird, one thing i really like of chicken is the chicken skin, greasy in the soft parts that are nearer the meat and crispy on the outer parts of the skin, you're totally all PRO Scott, thumbs up, on to part 2 and 3 and thankin' our buddy slobomotion for the COOL Share!! =)

[@AndyBeaven-l8y]

Fantastic, first time for me today and it went perfectly on 6 birds, cocks and hens. Thanks for the invaluable help. Regs Andy.

[@UnionSation]

Just did my first pheasant following you step by step! Great video, very user friendly and clear instructions! Thanks!

[@markwhittall5984]

Brilliant. I’ve only just moved to Hereford and have been given a pheasant. An easy guide to follow for an ex townie

[@kevinhayden1]

Very good video. Almost seems easy!

[@slobomotion]

Oh GOOD! I just sent you a message asking for a tip and am so glad YOU have a clip up! I just got three lovelies! Greetings from France.

[@iainisc]

Scott, I came across your video by chance and you are the only person I know, yes, I know there must be others, other than me who skins a Pheasant. I plucked my first Pheasant and thought, there must be an easier less messy way and you show it excellently. I either pan fry them in various ways or roast them. Yes, a Pheasant can be dry but I just wrap them in smoked streaky bacon and that pretty much alleviates the problem. Keep on posting your videos, you have a new subscriber, just in case I get stuck with something and for new ideas.

[@TheScottReaproject]

Iain Campbell Many thanks Iain ,its much appreciated mate,some people turn there nose up when you skin a pheasant,but like i say,life's to short to pluck a pheasant,the odd one maybe,but if you have a few you would be there all day ,and i dont think it makes a difference cause there really is not a lot of fat under the skin,to help with the cooking anyhow,its more about the presentation,but we ent Michelin starred restaurants so its no problem .all the best .Scott

[@maruismeiring2966]

Great video thx I actualy learnt something.

[@TheScottReaproject]

Thanks Maruis,that is what thescottreaproject is all about my friend,cheers .Scott

[@tiredhero]

great stuff Scott...

[@joshtenney8979]

Very good job

[@russfaulkner7526]

I usually skin pheasants aswell. But as I was plucking two chickens yesterday and dipping them in hot water first for 30 seconds I decided to do the pheasants aswell. Wear a pair of rubber gloves and it's done in under 3 mins. Give it ago. Cheers. All the best Ps. you've got a new subscriber aswell

[@TheScottReaproject]

Cheers Russ,must give that a go mate,thanks for watching and thanks for the sub,all the best.Scott

If there is a good tutorial on KZbin? This is it.

[@smitty3624]

Very nice video! I've been working on getting into upland bird hunting, and this is definitely going to prove useful in the future.Though personally, I like to hold onto the tail feathers. Make wonderful hat pins.

[@zee30000]

great idea...I love it!

[@radar2119]

This is great information. I will be using this technique on my next hunt. This is darn near my favorite meat. Here in Montana the birds are pretty large. Did I hear you say that they are a few days old? If so, why did you wait? Thanks much for the video!

[@bluishskin]

Hello, Scott. Thank you for posting such a didactic video. I'm not sure whether there are any pheasants in where I live (Indonesia). But if there is any, I'll be watching this first before cleaning and cutting the pheasant. :)

[@stu4516]

Scott have you ever done it were you stand on the wings and pull there legs?

[@219garry]

So you can just hang them with the guts in for a few days? Does it have to be below a certain temp to do that?

[@0ld1eye]

Great guide! I've prepared pheasant a half dozen times using this method and it's so straightforward. The one problem I've run into a few times is slicing the crop open when removing the head, which results in grain all over the place; not the end of the world, but a little annoying; any tips for avoiding the crop?

[@sunso1991]

please be careful about hygiene and cross contamination wear a latex glove to reduce chance of infection via tiny cuts on hands too thank you for the wondering tutorial! straight to the point and very educational!

[@njnioni]

How long do you leave them between shooting them and skinning them?

[@LomilomiHealing]

Aloha Scott, On the Big Island we have great pheasant, quail & turkey hunting. Why do u keep the necks so long when dressing the bird out?

[@dalesmart321]

awesome thanks

[@jamie57061]

Cracking video as usual Scott. I have a Pheasant i shot today waiting to be skinned. However, i gutted it in the field and a small amount of excrement from the bowel got inside the birds chest cavity. I immediately swilled it out. Will it still be ok to eat? Thanks. James

[@certifiedweldor]

thanks for the info.

[@palangnar3588]

Good explanation, but i always wonder what happens to the bullet, or bullets, inside the bird, if is any there.

[@rogeliotorres6002]

I have a question can this be done with any other bird's like doves other quails and maybe chickens. Just wanted to know it's a very fast way of cleaning a bird even more a small bird. I really like this video you made, very detailed and informations is great to know.

[@NsPsNiiPeS]

yes any bird

[@bwghall1]

very small birds you cook whole, then just pinch the meat off when cooked. you do not draw them.@@NsPsNiiPeS

[@jaketookey3911]

pheasants are delicious in homemade curries their natural toughness is perfect for slow cooked curry

[@matthewlewis7055]

@scott - a great video. I have a question. There is a recommendation to remove meat around the shot area to reduce lead intake. How would you approach this will a whole bird?

[@chanceblevins6682]

Would this apply to most birds minus waterfowl and turkey? For survival

[@BigMikeD10001]

good one

[@wmordido]

thanks for the video! really really good! how common are pheasant in the uk?

[@MsLoopyLoops]

they're all over the place

[@sicerunascimento]

Very good video. Costs to invite friends for a lunch ...

[@projectixj9868]

Great video Scott. A classmate of mine who hunts tells me pheasant tastes the best of game birds. Can you tell me what brand of boning knife you used? The one that works well and lasts for years? I like to know which products work well and are worth purchasing. Thanks.

[@MrBandholm]

very late but... Those bones, carcass's and cut offs, could or do you use them to make stock? I very much like the idea of using the animal to the fullest, and making stock or soup (if you have four or more birds) might be a good way of getting the last out of the animals sacrifice.

[@victordiazincle5603]

You probably get this question asked a lot but can you undress all birds this way?

[@JohnSmith-do2op]

Thanks Scott. Started pheasant beating last season, I was given loads of birds but never found an easy way of preping them. Plucking just ended up with the kitchen covered in feathers. Eventually resorted to just taking of the thighs and legs, which wastes quite a bit of each bird. You method looks much more effective. Are you or have you done a video on preping rabbit?

[@peterszabo4703]

thanks!

[@carljones7992]

How do you do this but keep the skin on

[@charleyboy36]

Gr8 enjoyed the vid scott

[@Thats_Cool_Jack]

Is there anything you can do with the feathers?

[@kerrykeewatin9704]

[@TheSpartanMartin]

are the wings no good? like chicken wings?
