The Hunter's Table // German Pheasant and Spätzle Soup "This fall, my wife and I attended an Oktoberfest celebration where we sampled several German dishes (and beers). We both agreed that of everything we tried, the spätzle soup was by far the best. We also thought that wild pheasant would be an excellent substitution for the chicken traditionally used in the dish. After brainstorming how to recreate the soup, we ended up with our own version. German culinary enthusiasts will likely say it is unauthentic, but they can’t argue with its delicious flavor."

PHEASANT FACT FRIDAY - Most experts agree pheasants increase weight from September through December, but disagree if weight continues to increase through January and February. This depends on weather conditions. The amount of energy available for fat production, or weight gain, is determined by outside temperatures. A harsh January can stop fat production, and cause existing fat and muscle tissue to be used for warmth with a corresponding weight loss. With normal January weather, hens will stop producing fat, and use what they eat for warmth, without using existing fat or muscle. In this situation, the hen will hover around 2.4 lbs. If mild conditions exist in January, part of her diet can be used to make body fat and increase weight. Depending on conditions, fat in January can be more than double that of December.

Quail Fact Friday - January is the heart of winter, and bobwhite quail face some of their toughest challenges of the year. Coveys tighten into small, compact groups to share body heat on frigid nights. As winter progresses, covey sizes often shrink due to harsh weather and predators, making quality habitat more important than ever.
