Finally got around to smoking a couple pheasant today.
Wanted to do a comparison of bacon wrapped and naked.
Both were brined and I used a simple store bought chicken rub.
My fine feathered friends are ready to smoke.
Both were awesome! The naked bird was a little dry on the skin. Still a lot of great meat inside.
The wrapped bird was totally awesome.
I think the next time I do pheasant I'll take the advice I read somewhere here. I'll foil the legs about half way through.

Hope everyone has a great and safe New Year!
