Got my 1st pheasant ever. I watched three pheasant cleaning videos yours being the first, and all 3 were different. Yours being the BEST, i replayed it and had my first ever pheasant clean in under 10 minutes... and if I had a second pheasant it would have taken only 2 or 3 minutes. Thank you for a great tutorial.
Great video. Id like to point out that if you plan on putting your bird in the freezer, you should leave a leg on to prove the bird was a male. Just for liability purposes.
Hiya - Great instruction video; easy to understand, and very helpful (what do you do when the car in front of you takes out a nice plumb pheasant, eh?). Luckily, although the rib cage was shattered, there was no damage to the guts. I ended up jointing it and coming away with just over 1.5 lbs of fresh wild pheasant meat!
😂 a pheasant hit my car windshield once and cracked the windshield. I was covered in tiny bits of glass and a little shaken up, so I didn't take the pheasant home. Would have made a big meal though! Pre-tenderized. I drove home with his feathers still stuck in the windshield.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. My neighbour just gave me two pheasants and two partridges so will be trying this out now. Greetings from the Scottish Highlands.
Dont you hang your pheasants.. in the uk they are hung for 24 to 72 hours 1-3 day i prefer 24 hour hang as the mest is to gamey for me any longer also a lot of younger people find it easier to eat with less time hung but my mother, gandparents ect older generation like the gamey flavour and want a bird hung for the full 3 days
Great video and great tips, thanks, I usually leave the skin on the breast to keep the meat moist when cooking. I like your method of keeping the feathers so that I can dry the hide/feathers and put them on my decoys. The ducks and geese can see the real feathers and come in for sure
Nice! One of the first people who does it right , no waste! It bugs the crap out of me people breast birds and throw the rest away! I use a heavy scissors instead of a knife , works as good.
Thanks brother man! Getting 30+ acres and planning on raising pheasant and bees. I have two third year hives and wanted to make sure I knew how to clean the birds before I started planning enclosure layout. I look forward to the day I have extra for meat and feathers. So excited! Thanks again! Excellent explanation. Do you ever accidentally pop the guts? Do you raise your own? How do you break their neck or do you always hunt them? 😶... a friend of mind thought their chicken was dead but it started walking around and continued to live for three more years with a broken neck. Straight diabolical! 😧 Just saying, it’s in the back of my head. Should I just give it head a good wack? Is cleaning fish easier? I can clean the heck out of a mess of bluegill/bass/crappie! 😋
@@toga1022 They flew...just way too close and I probably used a bit heavy on the shells. We were walking to go duck hunting if that gives you an idea of shells I had on me. I didn't expect to run into pheasants on the way.
Seems surprisingly easy, I guess that shows you're good at it.

2 of my egg customers just brought me 8 pheasants,i stand on the wings and pull with the feet.clean and simple
That’s a nice quick method! I prefer the European plucking method, I rlly rlly like the skin of these birds roasted!!
Better though not to let them get cold. This method is best when freshly killed!
“The livers” ahha

Agree, here in South Dakota it's required
I do that in Ireland too , hens are a no go males only here
😅 police looking in my fridge yea right…
@@fireguy2995The thought processes were a little less than stellar...
The feds are notorious for unwarranted checking of freezers here in Indiana
Dude, trying to concentrate on your content and learn something but can't put up with annoying music. Doesn't need it.

Saved me so much time and made it easy. Glad that seen your video, thanks
Best way to clean a rooster in my opinion. Great video.
Can't handle the mindless jangling in the background.

Heya, never prepped a pheasant before and ive very easily learnt how to prep it thanks to you!
Have we really reached a point in time that everything has to be a music video..... we can’t do shit without music being involved?
Have you ever uploaded a video to UA-cam ?
Such a stupid thing to complain about damn
Is it just me or does this guy look a lot like Ari Shaffir?? 😂
Great Video.....Excellent explanation.
You should get yourself a new cameraman. This one is too shaky.
I don't hunt myself but this is actually pretty cool :)
The music is a little much
hands down the best video on breaking a pheasant down, thanks!
Nicw job ..quick to the point ! Great video.
Great to see a video where they don't waste half the bird!
Great video! You made it look real simple✌😲
Thats because it is simple.
Here because my dog has come close twice, to grabbing one the last two mornings lol 😂
Totally new to this. Great simple video, but how long do you hang the bird before hand and do you cut the neck to bleed it? Thanks
I'm writing a short story and this is such a a great reference video
I also keep the Gizzard and the Neck, because when cleaned they're really delicious
Brilliant thanks very much from the UK
Good stuff man, I bet it was delicious!
It seems to be skinning rather than cleaning
And he timelapses through whole process. Horrible video I'd say
Cameraman was so wild. Lol
You forgot the shit tube
Great video. I harvested two today and realized what brutally close shots they were when I went to field dress. 😆 kinda messy.
Let them fly . . . if your a decent shot you will get them with less meat damage.

I really enjoyed this. :)
You can check out more from Chef Lukas on the Modern Carnivore channel. Here's another video of his. ua-cam.com/video/KjIElp5A4SI/v-deo.html
Do you keep the tail?
Catch them by hand lol
No, thats for my Brittany, she brings them back in her mouth, no shot needed.
😍😍😍fantasticoooooooo
Nice video!
Thank you.
No wonder those pheasants are endangered.
Idk who told you pheasants were endangered but they have you terribly mistaken.
They are heavily breeded cause it's the most favorite bird for shooting and hunting
Probably thought that because pheasants in Michigan went extinct. However they are being brought back.
Yum! Thanks for the lesson!
