Thanks SwampCollie. This will likely be my start at plucking going forward. I pluck all my upland game but most of my ducks have been small (teal etc) and didn't seem worth it.

I am getting more into waterfowling vs upland and I am starting to get into larger birds including geese.

Do you pluck by hand or use one of those nubby mechanical ones I've seen in Cabelas? I was looking at the one that can go on a drill as a limit of birds could take a while by hand.
