I owe one of the boys here a recipe. It's not my stuffed bird one, but this one makes for fine groceries just the same.
Start with:
Progress to this
Add these
Render this
To do this
Add celery, carrot and onion to make this
Add this (or any other similar bottle of inexpensive red)
To get this
Then do this
And this
At this
No pics, but I use the excess stock from the skillet and the mushroom juice
Add this
Whip up a few of these for color while waiting and having a Scotch or three
Keep simmering. And watch that rice.
Couple to couple and a half hours later, you get this
Then this. Voila! Dinner is served. Wild duck braised in red wine, with sides of shiitake mushrooms, brussels sprouts and rice cooked in reduced duck and vegetable stock. Add a bottle of Cab Sauv, Shiraz or whatever you like, and enjoy yourself. I had planned to take a couple of shots of the meat falling off the bone, but after the first wonderful bite and enjoying watching my wife tearing into her bird I totally forgot about the picture taking. So you'll have to take my word that the duck was moist, tender and absolutely delicious prepared this way. BTW as you can see I normally serve half a duck pp, but a hungry man can put away a whole mallard/black duck no problem. Or two teal.
The birds will be so tender you can very easily cut them in two with an ordinary pair of kitchen scissors, BTW.
There is no documentation of post dinner bliss with the wife, but trust me when I say that desert was goooooooooood.
And eventually this
Regular duck season closed in MA 30 minutes ago. Seaducks keep open until the 30th. Any guesses what I'll be doing for the next couple weeks?
Cheers, guys.

ShackKG, I believe you just put the old Iron Chef in the shade.
I doubt it can be done better.
We've been doing third season Winter blue darters for supper. And for something different tonight, Gulf shrimp gumbo.

NortonThat does it.....I'm changing the accommodations in AZ to an efficiency fully stocked with pots 'n' pans.

Kamo GariThanks for the words, gents. For me, properly preparing and really enjoying the wonderful bounty of what I take in the field brings all of my hunting and fishing endeavors full circle.
Norton, I'm not sure the management will appreciate me spit roasting a whole javelina on the motel balcony, but then there's only one way to find out!

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

trapmonkeygreat recipe... something more for me to try come duck hunting in africa in may
"one of the most common african animals is the common coolerbok(or coleman's coolerbok). Many have been domesticated and can be found in hunting camps, lodges and in the back of vehicles."

Always interested to hear about waterfowling in other places. Be sure to post a report and pics after your hunt, please!

Gerrypeters375KG is the only person who has ever made wild duck look tasty to me. (I had a deprived childhood and adulthood -a mother who refused to cook game and camp cooks in Canada who seemed to never have heard of basting))
I hate to encourage him to keep posting such pictures - he is a Boston Red Sox fan (on top of everything) and praising Bostonians only encourages them! (KG- maybe you should open a restaurant)

Kamo GariWild ducks are wonderful groceries, mister. Pity no one showed you some simple recipes and cooking techniques. I've been told by lots of guys that they don't like duck. I tell them that they've never been fed duck by someone that knows how to properly prepare and cook them.
Frankly, when done right, it just doesn't get much better. But then what do you know: you think the Yankees are cool.
Here's a pile of duck cooked in one of the most popular ways. Breast meat chunks butterflied and stuffed with jalepeno and a slice of onion (or whatever you like), wrapped in a half strip of bacon. Marinated in whatever you like for 30 minutes then right onto a hot grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning once. Served medium rare, they're to die for.

Many thanks for the recipe. I forgot to mention that being a simple man, I like good food simply prepared - like ruff breasts in a fry pan with a white wine. I have eaten duck and enjoyed it always - when it was domestic and I ate it in a restaurant. If you would open a restaurant, I would promise to buy at least a table for 9 on opening night. (I know a number of Yankee fans,enough for a team by coincidence, who would be willing to risk eating food prepared by a Bosox fan)

Wow. Iki's getting to be a very solid young man. It's bizarre but in a way I almost feel like I've 'watched him grow' over the past years through pictures you've posted. You should be, and am sure are very proud, amigo.
Maybe some day we'll kill some ducks together. You ever make it up here, I'll put you on birds.
