Another fine afternoon

drewhenrytntAnother fine afternoon
Just had another fine afternoon shooting Redheads with my friend RonE and his buddies. This year, I am shooting an SP-10 with #6 Hevi and a skeet choke. Yesterday one of the ducks was actually shoved a couple feet back before it fell. No follow-up shot necessary!

Absolutely! I prefer the ones with blue eyes,freckles,tattoos,and piercings, but the winged ones are great too!

For over 30 years I thought ducks were nothing more than "flying liver" and could not get them down. I at perhaps a duck a year and gave the rest away.......It is difficult to get people to take ducks that haven't been cleaned so I ofthen had to filet or pluck ducks in order to give them to someone who would use them and not waste the birds I shot.
Three years ago, I learned how to cook ducks a couple of different ways and now I look forward to eating duck for dinner. I still give lots of ducks to people who don't hunt but like duck but I keep pleanty in the freezer too. The recipes I use are good for all ducks from Teal up to all of the puddle ducks and diving ducks. I even enjoy Northern Shovelers (spoonies) now.
Don't ask me what happened, when I left Viet Nam, we were winning.

crbutlerRedheads were once a staple of the market gunning business. Generally excellent on the table.
About as smart as a retarded rock sometimes though...

I got this one from my friend Don. Slice the breast about halfway through to make a pocket. Insert jalapeno and cream cheese. Wrap tightly with bacon held in place with toothpick grill until the bacon is done. Remove toothpicks and slice into medallians. Fantastic. I have also used one of the recipes found here. Cut the duck breast (I like gizzards) into "McNugget" size pieces. Marinade overnight in 50/50 soysauce/italian dressing. Remove from marinade, wrap tightly with bacon held in place with toothpick or kabob wire. Grill until bacon is crisp then the duck is perfect.
You could also substitute red wine for the italian dressing.
Duck doesn't last long around my house cooked like this.
Sauce Piquant anyone?

L. David KeithDucks and geese are excellent if one knows how to prepare them. I'm not at all for the liver taste that all waterfowl has but it can be removed with proper cleaning and cold water. Redhead is one of the finest of all ducks. It is my favorite above all others.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

My favorite duck dish...I don't like duck fixed very many ways....
6 boneless, skinless duck breast halves (three ducks)
In a glass or ceramic bowl large enough to hold the breasts:
3 tblspoons of fruit flavored vinegar
2 " " Olive oil
2 " " Honey
1 tblspoon of minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon of marjoram or oregano
" " crumbled dried sage
" " dried thyme
" " salt
" " ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice
turn the duck breasts in the marinade to coat well then cover and
refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
remove the duck breasts from the marinade and scrape off the big chuncks and
pat dry. Brush duck breasts and a large heavy skillet with Olive oil. Heat
the skillet over med high heat until oil begins to smoke...add the duck
breasts and cook until bottom is lightly browned (about 2 minutes *) turn
breasts over and cook the other side for 2-3 * minutes more. Serve
immediatly.
* bigger breasts longer, smaller breasts shorter
Don't ask me what happened, when I left Viet Nam, we were winning.
