There is almost no public land pheasant hunting in the North Island, but a permit for Kaiangiroa is easy to get, and I hunt on a handful of local farms also.

Mostly I schnitzel the breasts, coat in panko and very lightly fry them.

Stick a fork in it, the season is done. One last rooster for Dash.

Tony from Cazador restaurant has a good recipe for pukeko, essentially splitting the breasts and putting pesto inside before a very quick trip through the frying pan.

I like them. OTOH, I also...

The first time you hunt chukar it is for adventure.

After that, revenge.
