aister Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 After being out 3 days in the snow and covering a lot of miles I managed to bag 3 geese, 8 mallard, 2 wigeon, 4 teal and 3 snipe. Its the best few days of sport I have had in a long time and made all the better because I have had a really bad season where the ducks are concerned, I JUST CAN'T HIT THEM . I breasted the geese the wigeon and one of the mallard and I gave my mate the snipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfowler.250 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Nice. The snipe would have been the last thing I'd have given away I'm getting pretty sick of eating goose and wigeon already this year but those mallard and teal look great.

aister Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks for the comments. They were all shot getting up and going away so the breasts are nice and clean. I plucked them all by hand camokid, it took me just over three hours to get them all plucked and ready for the pot but well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aister Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have always found wigeon to be very hit or miss taste wise so I usually put a breast them and use it in a game pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
