In my teens thru my twenties, I duck and goose hunted 30 plus days a season. We’d pile up the Mallards, Widgeon, Teal, and geese to the point where our freezer should have sprouted wings.

I enjoyed eating a fat roasted mallard or goose a couple times a month. The problem became we had more ducks than we could eat just by oven roasting. We started breasting out our smaller ducks, then sauté them with different herbs and seasonings, including Teriyaki sauce and stir frying to change up the flavor.

All cooking methods produced good to decent table eats, but, eventually we’d tire on Donald Duck. Enter the smoker - We starting smoking duck breast, which was pretty good. That’s as far as we took it for ways to prepare duck.

I stopped serious duck hunting the last 20 years, but the past couple years I started getting a serious itch to start hunting them again.

I took it a step further by getting myself a duck boat last week. Ducks are gonna fall this winter, so I’m looking for some good ways to prepare duck, besides the ways I mentioned above.

What do you all got for turning a duck into some tasty food ?

PS

Some high priced restaurants have charged upwards of $60 bucks for a whole duck. Never ordered it, but I’ve heard Liberals say it’s amazing !??! Amazing, wtf am I missing ?

I love duck hunting and eating but I hate plucking. It was a great day when my kids got old enough to argue over who “gets” to pluck the ducks. My favorite ways to eat them or either duck gumbo or a pot pie

I like to marinate the breasts in this and cook to medium rare over charcoal. Chew slow on account of steel shot.

Goose fajitas. As a change of pace most anything goose, venison, and turkey taste good as a fajita.

I've found the best way to have good duck is to chuck those nasty mallards and geese in the ditch and go shoot you some wood ducks for the table.

When I started waterfowl hunting in the late 70's -early 80's my parents would ask what I was going to do with the ducks.
Before too long the tune had changed to when I was going duck hunting again.
Plucking it a must, roasting a necessity, and the recipe is critical.

Thanks. But no thanks.


Duck hunting isn’t big around here. ( actual sport. ).

Of course if you went by all the Duck commander , Drake , DU stickers on trucks you’d think it was a hotspot.

Around here about all folks do is jump shoot woodies on creeks.

30 days a season? lol! Sing with me now: Mary had a little lamb, little lamb... wink Assuming you're actually going to nut up and follow through on your threat to join for sea duck/brant/coastal diver & puddle duck killing in December, you best bring your game face and at least a case of #2s. And a pacifier. I've got some giggles in store for you, softcockee! wink

We like to cut the meat off the breasts, cut it in strips, salt and pepper and a little Slap Ya Mama, roll it in flour and fry it in butter.

It’s always fun and extremely amusing to listen to a “Shootist” run his gums before a hunt. “I’ll give you the first couple birds to let you get warmed up on before I start busting wings”.....” I’ve been shooting this Ithaca model 37 pump forever (insert any Browning stack barrel here too) and I don’t miss”....”You better be quick with your shotgun - just saying”

I’ve heard these words and others said by guys thinking they can shoot. Big Emphasis on “Think”.

Super simple. Breast and cook them with a pot of pinto beans. Delicious.
