So me and my son got to go out for our first duck hunt. We managed to get one, a mallard. We saw quite a few but they were either too far away or flying over areas we wouldnt be able to get to. Now for a couple question if someone could help.
First, I saw a pair of birdsfly by that from the pictures ive seen my best guess is they would be either canvasback or redheds. Leaning more toward canvas based on pics I saw, more white on the belly. Question being do either of these ducks fly through that area or am I way off?
Second, any tips for plucking feathers? I didnt get a chance to clean the bird. In fact my wife ended up doing it. I was going to after work but she took the liberty and cleaned it up. She said she saw something abouth using wax, anyone know about this? Or any other pointers?
Last, if you happen to cripple a duck what are your methods for ending things as quickly humanly as possible. Read of a couple methods. Just like to hear any other ideas.
Thanks in advance
