Okay, the pheasant talk is making me seriously hungry. Hubby deer hunts but doesn't do turkey or pheasant so I end up having to buy it from the local gourmet place. Slow-roasted pheasant is to die for!
We sometimes give our raw deer bones to Oscar, but only under supervision since he has snapped the head clean off the femur before which meant I had to drop what I was doing and go fishing around in his mouth to find it before he swallowed it. I find the rib cages make great busy work for dogs. There's usually enough meat scraps to make it tasty and being forced to negotiate the gaps and such means they have to move it around, scrape their teeth, etc. We also sometimes give the hip (or a half, usually) because the flat surfaces are easier on teeth than the long bones.
