A raw pheasant is obtained by killing a pheasant in the Freaky Forester random event. A raw pheasant must be given to the Freaky Forester to complete the event. The meat from any pheasant can be given to the Freaky Forester despite him asking for the meat of a specific bird.
Raw pheasants disappear if dropped. Attempting to attack another pheasant with one in the inventory results in the message You already have a pheasant carcass. You don't need to kill another. If the player kills two pheasants (so there are two carcasses on the ground) and picks one up, attempting to pick up the second one results in the message You already have a pheasant carcass in your inventory, you don't need to kill another. After handing in a raw pheasant and being told to leave, attempting to attack a pheasant results in the message You don't need to attack any more pheasants. You're allowed to leave. A second raw pheasant can be picked up after giving the first one to the Freaky Forester, but it is removed from the inventory when leaving the event area.
