Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Any idea how long a pheasant wing will last after cutting it off? Quote Link to post
WILF 46,770 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Like dead pigeons I would imagine mate, use it until you can't stand the smell any more! Lol lol With all the other advice, thanks again lads and I think I will just go steady away and work on the principle of no dog ever got ruined by leaving it a bit longer.

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Lads wat would you class as to early for the dog to see feather?? My springer bitch was started on pigeons at nine months, would this be classed as to early or does it depend on the dog? Quote Link to post
ftm 3,357 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 depends on dog mate mine was 9 months and he took to it no bother but my mates is a bit iffy at the same age so iff in doubt let it come on a bit 1st Quote Link to post
leethetree 4 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 hi there ,just bought my first gundog pup !!!being reading the posts about cold game .....can anyone enlighten me about cold game !!does it mean literally cold ???if so why train a pup on cold birds as apposed to freshly shot game ?. thanks Quote Link to post
Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'd say cold just means dead rather than actually cold and it's just the practicality I would imagine. If you could get freshly shot birds it would be just as good or better but how easy could you get a freshly shot bird twice a week just before a training session? Also I reused some of the birds I got. 1 Quote Link to post
Smokey 1 56 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Any idea how long a pheasant wing will last after cutting it off? Place the flesh end ie bit you cut it off from in a bowl of salt for a couple of days. Have got a tail and two wings wrapped on a dummy from last season still Smokey 1 Quote Link to post
Nik_B 3,790 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Cheers Smokey top advice. My last bird was starting to smell a bit after I left it in the game bag for a bit too long. Going again in a couple of weeks so I'll do what you said Quote Link to post
