What to do...?
 

Hello everyone. this is my first post here in the waterfowl section. But anyways this weekend i am going down to our deer camp and going duck and goose hunting on a pond there that is just the best. But neways i am wondering what to do with the ducks after the shots if we dont have anywhere to clean them no water no electricty. We only have a little cabin that we hang a few lanterns in. How long can i keep the ducks in a zip lock bag. We would be leaving sunday night. Well if you can understand my post please help lol. Sorry thanks guys

If the temp is below 40 then you can just gut the birds (unskined ) ,wipe the insides out with paper towel and let the hang by the neck in the shade for several days .You can pluck the birds if you want ,just leave 1 fully feathered wing ,per federal water fowel regulations.

Make absolutely sure the temp is 40 or below-ducks and geese carry all types of things and you will get sick like you never been before if they spoil.

I would clean them and keep in a cooler with ice in ziplocks....
