It's all in the chest poundin after the kill-----and watchin the dogs work, thats what I LOVE.

Smoked duck or goose nothing better throw in a pheasant or two , grab a six pack and I am in heaven

duck hunting seems to be the only thing this state has going for itself in the hunting department.

alot of my buddies have gave up on big game and small game and just duck hunt now. and bring home limits of ducks every time they go out makes me want to go aswell.

Cuzzin Snit! That last one is a hapless widgeon, lots of them little buggers over he'ah on the wet side of the hill. The duckies kept me from getting cabin fever and with a serious case of OCD, well, I now have to kill them all...again. Poor duckies!

I pitty the quacker that pisses you off Robbo...you little feller....haven't whacekd one in years...but the lab is having fun retrieving the quail out of the yard this winter...taking Cuzzin Hodg fishin tomorrow..trying to get him off the Rez

Say hi to Hog for me, init.

didn't make it...got whiskey drunk.......I'll see him at work tomorrow anyway cussin

If a guy won't eat Duck, what else won't he eat?

Show me a guy that won't eat Duck, I'll show you a home I can Remodel.........

Words of wisdom!

About the only other thing I won't besides game/duck are green peppers. Oh yeah, and shellfish, but that's only because I tend to hurl afterwards, not because I don't like 'em.

My kitchen and bathrooms could use a remodel. Does that count?

What is clam?

I hear Panama is infamous for their clams.

I'm giving up on trying to convince you guys that ducks and geese taste good. The competition is already too high on the public areas. I never give mine away, as a matter of fact I get a little depressed after I eat the last one for the year. I will say though, widgeon taste horrible, they have to be made in the jerky pile (Just did 4 pounds last night, me and the kids love it).

I ate a goose breast last night flank steak style, I marinated it in Olive Oil overnight, and cooked it with Johnny's Salt, same way I cooked my wife's steak right next to it. It wasn't just edible it was delicious. If you overcook them, they suck, cook them right and they are money.

Jerky, sausage, and burger are not exotic.

Those fellas that try to give or pawn off their ducks arent hunters in my book; they are just killers. IMO, if you cant eat it; then dont kill it.

Couldn't have said it better, J7.

Boat Nazi...I think Parker wants his bathroom remodeled. Code Red

So how many of you guys just breast them out? I'll admit to doing it.

When I did more of it, I'd collect the meat after the season and send it off to a butcher shop and have them make pepperoni, which usually included them adding some pork to the mix. The one way I could really enjoy duck and goose: pepperoni sticks.

Sheesh Endsley, I found a guy who joined about the same time with less posts. That's almost impossible.

I did for one season when I was 19 or 20. That was before I knew any better. Now I take breast, legs, heart and gizzard. There is a good chunk of meat on the back of the wing but I havent found a quick way to get to it with out making a mess.

i just breast them out but i am new to it and have only done it a few times, and thats how i was shown how to do it. so after you breast them out you just cut the legs off as well? might have to start doing that don't like to know meat is going to waste.

I just dig a hole in the pasture and bury them. Oh wait, that's reserved for the wild steelhead.

Hang them in the garbage can until they disappear.

NOT.

I don't understand why people throw the legs away. It's the only piece that never dries out when cooking.

I do a lot of ways, but mostly breast them out. On Mallards and Geese I take the leg meat too. Sometimes I will pluck big batches of teal, so they can all be roasted in a pan. Again my favorite way to cook them is grilled straight, so breasting works out really good for me.
