Not enough meat on a pheasant' s legs to worry about? What are these miniture roosters you guys are shootin' ?

Come on; that seems pretty lazy. Besides being easy to cut off a skinned or partially skinned carcass, the legs are entirely edible, at least several ounces each in weight, and really quite tasty! There are tendons, but its easy to work around them.

Respecting your quarry includes doing your best to make full use of it!
