Join Tom Radford, a passionate forager and wild food enthusiast, as he shares his expertise on how to efficiently field dress a pheasant. In this video, Tom demonstrates a technique that might appear crude at first glance but is remarkably effective for quickly processing pheasants, especially when handling multiple birds. This method is particularly useful outside the hunting season, providing insights on preparing for the next one.

Tom walks you through the steps of this traditional technique, which involves strategically placing your feet on the wings of the pheasant and pulling its legs to separate the carcass from the skin. This method allows for rapid removal of the breast meat, ideal for cooking, and prepares the rest of the bird for making a nutritious stock. While acknowledging that pheasant season has concluded, Tom emphasizes the importance of learning and mastering this skill for future use.

This video is not just a tutorial but a celebration of sustainable hunting and food practices. Tom advocates for the responsible and ethical treatment of wild game, highlighting the 'nose to tail' philosophy to ensure that nothing goes to waste. Whether you're a seasoned hunter, a forager, or someone interested in sustainable food sources, this guide provides valuable knowledge on utilizing wild game fully and respectfully.
