how long should you hang pheasants
In fact, if you get an old, wild pheasant, 3 days would be a minimum for proper aging. This of course with other game birds. Over the years Iâve come to these conclusions on hang time: 1  Pheasants, grouse, partridges and geese I will hang 3 to 7 days, depending on how old they were.2  Pen-raised pheasants, all quail, woodcock, snipe and ducks I only age 1 to 3 days, again, depending on size and age.or example: Pheasants hung for 9 days at 50Â°F have been found by overseas taste panels to be more acceptable than those hung for 4 days at 59Â°F or for 18 days at 41Â°F. The taste panels thought that the birds stored at 59Â°F were tougher than those held for longer periods at lower temperatures.
