RE: Plucking ducks
Gosh I am glad to read a thread like this. I thought everyone nowdays was too lazy to clean waterfowl the right way ie plucking. I use a little propane blowtorch to singe the down and hair off after plucking. I then use a duckbill tin snips to cut the wings off next to the body and the feet athe joint and cut the tail off just above the anus then cut a slit from that opening to the breast bone. All that is left is a good flushing in cold water and making sure ALL the guts are out. One other thing Snow geese have such tender skin they are almost impossible to pluck. Canada geese after they are slick and fat after the early season you should really try plucking one of them. If you enjoy good roast duck you will also love a Canada roasted to perfection Mmmmmmmm. Good luck on your hunting and enjoy the bounty of a delicious waterfowl dinner.
