JoeL, Yes remove all the meat and heads they'll stink,otherwise the skin itself will last forever. Hen pheasant neck feathers are good for soft hackles and the wing quill for sedge wings.Is chukar like a french partridge?cann't remember.

> A friend brought me two rooster pheasants, a hen pheasant, and a chukar yesterday, skinned them last night, didn't do a very good job I'm afraid, but now I need to dry them. Bought 40 Mule Team Borax (I got two boxes Del, you know 20 PLUS 20)now I need to dry them. Should I remove the heads and what about the meat in the wings and base of tails, does it need any special treatment? > > Thanks, > > JoeL > > PS: Anybody got any good patterns for the Chukar and hen pheasant feathers? > >
