Re: Bird Breasting Machine

I would like to see it mounted to a receiver hitch so it could be used in the field. Now that would be nice!

Check this one out-

I wonder if that would work on dove & quail.

Re: Bird Breasting Machine

One thing to think about is state regulations regarding leaving a leg attached on pheasants. For instance, Kansas requires a leg left intact for transport to prove the bird a rooster( having a spur). Using one of these breasting tools would obviously separate the breast from the legs, rendering it an illegal bird.

Something to consider.

Re: Bird Breasting Machine

Actually that second one leaves the wings entact to tell what sex/species the bird is. They say it can even leave the head on.....Macks Prarie Wings has them on special right now and get the free 50.00 riser so you don't have to be on the ground to work it.

Pretty cool if all you want is breast meat.

Re: Bird Breasting Machine

If you've never tried this before, lay your pheasant on its back, with its head facing away from you. Open its wings up and step on them, placing your feet as close to the body as possible. Now grab the legs and pull (don't yank). The legs will pull the innards and the head right through the breast. Now all you have to do is clip the wings off and its breasted out. Works real slick, unless you have a bad wing shot, and no purchase necessary. Learned this from my uncle several years ago, and have used it ever since.

Good point on transportation. Kansas requires a leg or the plumage to remain intact when transporting, for identification.

32 years ago my dad learned me to "step on the wings, pull on the feet" and it has worked steady and perfect each and every time.

No batteries included or required.

This is how we do it... The hitch is pretty much the same thing just a way to make a profit. I've seen these before, but never invest in one of them. We still use the old and trusty version of steppin on the wings and pulling.

Re: Bird Breasting Machine

The group of guys I snow goose hunt with bought a Bird Hitch a few years ago. I have cleaned about 1000 birds with it. I works well for snow geese and smaller birds but does not do that well with canadian geese. I also makes a terrific mess under your truck. It is not something you would want to do in your driveway. It leaves the wings on for transportion. But you put together a few big harvest days and it is a god send!!
