Sausagedog 7,381 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) First pheasant of the season. A cock bird hunted and shot with a flintlock. Out before light but only found hens. Back out late afternoon and I got on this cockbird. The rain was bad and keeping a flintlock functional in such conditions is a challenge!

Good going mate ,, do you not shoot hens at all or is it that you don’t start the season off with a hen ? I have this weird superstition where I don’t like starting the season of with hen pheasant /duck as I think it gives me bad luck 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sausagedog 7,381 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Well that went down a treat! Washed and diced pheasant breast fried in olive oil and garlic salt and black pepper. While still tender a tin of bacon and lentil soup added. Course chopped boiled potatoes added and salt to taste. Only one small problem.....got to get another bird 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
