I could use whatever you have, especially the cape feathers. I'd pay shipping, of course.

By cape do you mean the ones from the neck?

 

[The Warrior]

Awesome stuff.

Indeed.

LOOKS GOOD! How was the meat as far as texture? Those home made noodles look awesome!

The meat was darker than store bought, but had more flavor as well. Some of the darkest meat was a bit stringy. Im thinking that was the legs, but most of it was great. Yes my wife makes awesome noodles!

Fantastic. It looks almost like Stroganoff!

If you had the time, you could tie it up, upside down, and let it drain, the meat would have been lighter, probably not any more tender, but lighter.

Some of those poultry stores, would let them birds sit in the window for days, "aging". I've heard before, that you want to let them hang until they fall free of their own accord.

I don't think so, Tim. I just drained mine for a few hours.

This is my favorite thread

How could that be? There was no Bk5 involved!

I've always recoiled at the thought of people aging birds but the guys who do it, swear by the results. I guess you are supposed to hang them by the head, feathers on, for up to a week at 50 degrees. When my boy gets older, I'd like to take him pheasant hunting and give aging a try.

I don't like aging anything longer than a day, two at the most. When I age wild game, its in a cooler on ice. Deer, swine, etc. but just to hang something up, guts and all, and let the shit fester in the window, makes my stomach do hoolahoops around my ass.

No sir, not this lad.

note to self: if ever in possession of a bk-9 and a malcontent rooster; prepare chicken & dumplings!

Good show, Psyop. Always love to see these knives at work for something practical and/or delicious. Also love the "no holds barred" photography I might have even learned something
