That’s the plan. Saved about half the feathers on the bird for future projects, and the wings to train the puppy coming this spring. Now I just need to find a fox or two and some quail wings and I’ll be set on training goodies for the first 6-8 months or so.
With this being my first duck ever, and first GWT, I breasted it out, gonna sear or grill it up a nice medium and make a little blackberry preserve based glaze.
One of the guys that my lab recovered a buck for is an avid waterfowler. Because of recovering the buck, he has invited me on a bunch of duck hunts. Wednesday morning was another one of those invites. We carried in the decoys, shovel to break ice, blind, and stools. We brushed/grassed in the blind while 2 guys in waders set decoys. It was a hunt to remember as it was like we couldn't do anything wrong. It didn't take long for everyone to have a limit. We were picking up by 7:34. 28 wigeon and 3 green wing teal.
Side note: I had fajitas from Sundays ducks and it will be one the list to have again.

Oh my gosh, what a perfect duck hunt! Congratulations guys!
Way to go Okie4570. Nice mess of ducks! How is Kevin doing?
Doing great, still have some work to do on blind retrieves, which really isn't a big deal for me like it is some since we nearly always hunt small water. As long has I don't have to get in the water to get my bird or search through the reeds for a cripple myself, I'm happy
Haven’t posted much this year….. it’s been slow but finally getting better with every cold front. Shot limits last sat and Sunday. Lots of wigeon this year. Back at it tomorrow to close out the season.
