INGREDIENTS
4 Pheasant legs
1 Small savoy cabbage
1/2 lb Brussels sprouts
1 Bunch dill
1/2 Cup strained yogurt
Salt, pepper, oil
DIRECTIONS
Season legs with salt and pepper, grill over embers for a very long time. This process is similar to the confit process but dry and does you cannot allow the temperature of the grill to rise above 250°F.
Grill for roughly 2 hours, basting the legs with fat (either duckfat or olive oil) every 15 minutes to ensure they don’t dry out. This will be worth it because the leg is too tough to cook quickly and the smoky, slow-cooked flavor will do wonders, if you are patient.
Trim any bruised or wilted leaves from the brussels sprouts, as well as some nice-looking outer leaves to use as a raw garnish and textural foil for the vegetables. Also clean and cut the outer leaves of the savoy cabbage, creating bite-sized pieces that will be blanched in rolling, boiling, heavily salted water.
Halve the brussels sprouts and sear them cut-side down in a fair amount of fat, seasoning with salt and pepper, then basting with butter once the cut side gains good caramelization. While both are still hot, serve with dollops of the yogurt, raw leaves, and sprigs of picked dill.

This humility is somewhat at odds with the Dan Moultrie in front of a camera marketing a new deer feeder, the Dan Moultrie sitting proudly beside a lifetime buck, or the Dan Moultrie who has appeared on television shows with legendary football coaches or outdoor celebrities.

El Capitan
Part four of the Modern Huntsman x Lone Star Outdoor Film series.
Waterfowl hunting creates a bond among friends that’s difficult to replicate. You could say the same about being a ship captain. This film is about both and follows our old friend John Dunaway as he shares his love for waterfowl, conservation, and hunting community on the Texas coast.
We’re excited to tell more stories about those who care so deeply about wildlife and wild places in the Lone Star State, and hopefully, you find some inspiration within the adventure.
