    I use a food saver to try and pull out as much oxygen as possible but there is always some left in there, I also double seal the bags to make sure nothing leaks. I have been curing my bacon for about 7-8 days and then letting it sit in the fridge to dry out after I take them out of the food...

    I need some ideas for my pheasant

    Thanks guys i went with a simple preparation brined them and them seasoned and wrapped in bacon.  I had not opened the bag that they came in and found out that i also had some duck in there as well, always a welcome surprise and did them much in the same way but seasoned them a little differently.
