I was brought up with the belief that if a job is worth doing its worth doing well. For me this means plucking pheasants, taking care not to tear the skin and finishing up with a nice clean oven ready bird. Outdated thinking perhaps but it just seams wrong to me to tear the thing to bits. I don't shoot many pheasants these days but if I had to prepare the like that I don't think I'd pick the gun up. It's just a pet hate of mine, like carrying birds by the feet or dispatching them by swinging them round by the head. Having said that, if its the way you do it, thats a clever bit of kit.
