Pheasants

Our neighbor Zach shot a couple of pheasants the other day and when we found out that he hadn't taken the meat yet, we thought our kids would like to watch. So we took them out to see just how you get the breast meat out of a bird. I know it sounds gruesome, but it wasn't. Besides, the kids had already watched Zach clean some fish he caught this summer, so we thought it would be okay. While we were standing there talking Kaleb kept saying, "hold it, hold it". So Zach let him hold the bird. It was so funny. He grabbed the thing by the neck and carried it all over the porch. He really thought that was great. Then after he was done, we got to have a little pheasant anatomy lesson.
