Pheasant rub recipes? Please help

Keep it simple...1/2C Kosher Salt (1/4C Table Salt), 1/2C Sugar, 1-2Tbs of any Spices or Herbs you got on hand, in 1 Gallon of Water and soak them Birds overnight. Dry them well rub the skin with some Oil or Butter, add some Black Pepper and what ever you have, even Ground Coffee, to the skin and Grill them. Don't go crazy cooking them and be careful the Sugar from the Brine in the skin will Burn if you don't watch them. I suggest building the fire in only 1/2 the Weber so you can cook the birds on the Cold side, covered, for awhile then move them over the coals to finish cooking and crisp the skin.  If you don't have an Instant Read Thermometer to check internal temp, just cook them until the juices in the Thigh run Clear when poked with a knife...Good Luck with the Hunt! Remember if you get any Bear the meat MUST be cooked to an IT of 165*F or you are risking Trichinosis as many Bears carry the Parasite. Have Fun...JJ
