Smoking Pheasant breasts

[guywhofishes]

I did pheasant once in the Bradley, bone in, never brined it, cooked with no bacon or anything else on the meat, and smoked for a couple hours. They came out so dry they about broke apart with just a touch. Never tried again, as it turned out so fricken bad.

I will maybe brine them for a day or two and give it another try. I have damn plenty of pheasant in the freezer to experiment again.

I have your recipe

I brined and smoked pheasant once. It sucked. Then I put it on a pizza and its became something awesome.



Sorry to hijack the thread. But in my experience dry pheasant need some TLC

All them meals look delish, I have brined and smoke pheasant breast before still a little dry but pretty good. Also this makes me sad, thinking about pheasant hunting this fall, then thinking about the hit the birds took this winter, hunting isn't going to be as good as the last couple years:;:lame

Total loss of the pheasant population in SW ND. Not one bird made it.
I hear Huron SD has a solid 40% uptick in spring bird numbers.

Over the years I smoked pheasants off and on,never had much luck,meat is to lean dang things came out to dry,but me thinks the bacon wrap is the ticket,thanx for the tip guyz.
