Usually leave them about a week even in the hotter months (depends quite how warm)...but glad you brought this up...my brace from last Saturday are also still hanging too, forgot all about them.....just checked...mine are fine but probably do them tomorrow now...if I don't forget again!!

Frozen, thawed, frozen, thawed etc.etc. = food poisoning. No thanks

 

I will give them at most three or four days, I normally do them the day after shooting, then eat or freeze. I'm not big on eating rotten meat. As a child we had to eat what was put in front of us, now I'm a big boy (old git) I can please my self, And do

No probs I hang mine for about a week, th elonger you hang em just adds a more game flavour...

An old boy from up my way said that in the old days people used to hang them for a month for strong taste.

So im trying it out lads if i dont post on here in the next 24 hours then im dead.

If the ass has gone green then get rid, if not then they will be fine

[clint 45]

If they are disembowled..they should be ok, if not 'BIN' :sick:

Quick update, did mine today, too lazy to pluck but they skinned a treat, 4 of us for lunch, and strange as it may seem the other 3 had never tasted Pheasant, all of them were impressed and happy to come back for more!!

 

 

PS...as someone else said..when they start to go green be very careful!!!
