PLEASE don't breast pheasants and toss the legs and thighs....they aren't geese! I split the bird and freeze the breasts for individual meals then I take all the thighs and legs and pressure cook for an hour. Let cool, pour onto a large brownie pan and sit down in front of the Outdoor Channel. Pick out all the bones, tendons etc. You will have a large amount of excellent dark meat for pheasant wild rice soup, stew or whatever. You can get many meals out of the portion some guys throw away.
