It ain't easy. You have to have firm soled boots and pull like hell but they come out.

I used a pair of pliers to grab on for better grip, thought it worked well! Will find out how good after i cook them up.

You are correct. I tried it this past weekend and there was no way I could pull those tendens out. Certainly not nearly as easy as that video makes it look.

You need really well fitting boots. I'm going to use a few nails on a column and just pull.

You will get better with practice. There is a certain way to hold the leg/thigh that helps and you have to crack the shin bones well. I've gotten much better at it through trial and error and lot's of pulling.

I really like the idea of using the whole bird. 
Way to go folks!:thumbsup:

On the point of using the entire pheasant..does anyone have any good ideas on cleaning birds where you pluck the feathers and just remove the organs? I would like to try to do this with some of birds and be able to roast an full pheasant in the oven or smoke it but I have not found..nor am I good at..removing the entrails. Any handy youtube videos or good instructions? I usually just rip the skin off..cut out the breasts and chopo off the legs but I would much rather find a good way to remove the insides and pluck the feathers leaving the skin on for a nice touch.

Zeb, after breaking the legs well in all directions point them inward (towards the body of the bird), step and give them a good tug. For some reason pointing them inward seems to make it easier.

Awesome video! I am going to try this next time I shoot a pheasant.
Never to old to learn a new trick, will give that a try this Saturday opener in land of Lincoln... If I can find one...

feathers
if you gently pick the feathers when the bird is still warm you can do a pheasant in a couple of minutes without tearing the skin,, then you gut it. they are really pretty easy to do but the have to be fresh and warm

i have herd this 2-3 times lately how do you gut a pheasant??? come on fellas very simple !!! feel wear the breast plate ends near the birds A-HOLE cut or tear a small hole in between then A-HOLE & wear u fell the breast plate stop on the bird & stick ur hand in there grab ahold of the entrails & give a pull have the pheasant back up belly down or to the side when u do this & pull out the entrails double check u got it all out & wash cavity of bird???
we should of learned to do this as kids if we hunted since we were young??? its a major part of hunting...
like mustistuff said the birds feathers pluck much more EZ when warm i have been skinning the good size roosters i shoot looks cool but you dont get the skin to cook the bird so got 2 rap in bacon to keep moist ive found???
ive never breasted a pheasant i have just had to salvage then breast cavity but never just the 2 breasts... i do admit to shooting birds in the legs though thats when i just keep the breast cavity... if u split it up the back its a little more simple to cook also???
