jimdfish Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I am going out for the geese and the dux on the first day of the season and I need to know how to dress the birds I get. Do I hang them? and how do I gut them? And before anyone says anything I will get some, loads in fact Oh yes there will be wildfowl a plenty in the fish household this Sept 1st. Any info? jimDfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul hart Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 The best way to pluck them is to get someone else to do it for you :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdfish Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 LB I am afraid its an early shower for you as well me lad. OFF. I thought this was a sensible forum with people who had balanced and sensible opinions based on years of experience, gained in the field and passed down from father to son in the tradition of hunting folk worldwide. I am now seriously having to reconsider this evaluation of mine. I am going to subscribe to the readers digest forum and you will all be sorry when I am gone. I would heartily recommend not making any posts contradicting the above statement as I will know that it is fear and panic speaking and not your true feelings, which even now are threatening to overwhelm you while thinking of your impending loss. I will give you one more chance as it is a better thing i do for this forum than has been done unto me. jimDfish P.S dont even think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Some people prefer to hang them for up to a week but I like to do them within a couple of days, birds shot on a morning flight will hang longer than those shot on an evening because they have empty guts and aren't full of greens that tend to go off quick. At the start of the season the weather is still quite warm, :yp: , so I'd do them the next day. You gut them the same way you would any other bird. Mark.

Jonnyni Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I'll be out myself for ducks in the mornoing ang geese in the evening. Only thing im worried about is the amount of rain that has fallen will send the birds inland to feed on the abundant wheat and barley that hasn't been cut.
