Excellent - do you get a brace as a present?

 

[leon-b]

no my uncle keeps a couple for himself and then prepares the rest and gives them away for free to people who are ill or elderly

Now thats my kind of shooting - give my compliments to your uncle! I was going to talk you through dressing out a pheasant - but I guess you have seen it done loads of times! If not, I suggest you ask to watch (and help) - its a good skill to have and translates fairly easy to dressing other game

no i have never seen it done before, i should be getting isues 1, 2 and 3 of the bcuk magazine as soon as tony gets round to sending me an invoice and i think issue 3 covers dressing a pheasant, but i would really like you to talk me through it aswell, so fire away
leon

 

[British Red]

Well, first get hold of your pheasant I can talk abstract but its much easier if you have one in front of you

 

[leon-b]

i dont know if i will be able to get hold of a pheasant because when we go out shooting about 6 other shooters come, whoever shoots it keeps it, my uncle keeps about 2 of the ones he has shot and gives the others away

 

[leon-b]

so could you just tell me how to do it anyway, pretty please
leon

 

[leon-b]

red the spatula went a bit wrong and to resurect it i had to shorten it to 15 cm, is this still ok, i will put a couple of photos up in a little while, the shape is roughed out and its just the sanding and oiling left
leon

 

[leon-b]

leon

 

[leon-b]

i have just started the sanding with 240 grit and when that is finished i will move to finer paper, will post another pic when i have finished sand ing with 240 grit

Looks great Leon, thanks.

I think a words decription of pheasant dressing would be hard to do without you have one in front of me...tell you waht, next time I'm doing some and have a bit of spare time, I'll do some photos - hows that?
