So THIS happened the other day...could use a couple recipe ideas

[K9BIGDOG]

So I retired a year ago after almost 34 years as an LEO and about a month ago I realized a lifelong dream and bought myself a new hunting partner. Ginger is a 2 year-old English Setter.

I took some time to bond with her and now that deer season is winding down I decided it was time to get her out on some birds! What a great job she did! She pointed 8 pheasants (my buddy and I were able to shoot 7 of them) and retrieved every one of the shot birds to hand! I am so proud and happy. And it was my birthday to boot, so what a day!
Any good pheasant recipes?

Such a great post. Tour pup did well! Here is a recipe for smoked pheasant. I've not tried it but seems good:

Wishing you a belated Happy B'day. Nice looking hunting partner, looks like she's all business, lol. Congrats on the early retirement. Thanks for sharing.

What a great birthday and hunting partner! Back in the day my female springers and I enjoyed so many successful pheasant hunts, then modern farming techniques and pesticides pretty much wiped out all the wild birds in CA. RAY

Cute pup and a nice spread of birds! I've done bacon wrapped pheasant very similar to this : http://foodbreeze.blogspot.com/2016/10/smoked-pheasant.html with good results. It's also good after cooling served as an appetizer.
