Duck Hunting Etiquette

And don't do what I saw yesterday; Someone took the breasts out of their birds and left the rest laying in the middle of the parking lot along with feathers everywhere. WTF? The other hunters using this area, the non hunters, and most importantly the ducks deserve more respect than this.

Good addition! Leaving the birds in the middle of a parking lot or public area is like not picking up your shells, and worse in certain cases.

 

Do you have a problem with the guy just breasting out the birds or is it mostly how the place looked when he was done?

 

Check out this technique,

.

I usually pull the breast and wings out, gather up the bird carcasses and extra feathers and then go hide them out of plain site. The technique in the video above is ideal for getting birds from the field to home. Keeps the wings for ID (you only need one) and the wing meat for killer buffalo duck wings!

Uh you legally have to leave at least one feathered wing on the meat until you get home... so what they did was a clear violation!

Scooter you sure you watched the same video? Both feathered wings are attached when you pull the breast are they not?

 

EDITED: You were talking about brents post? My bad..

I see stuff like that all the time during Dove Season, bugs me to no end. I take a couple of grocery store bags with me and breast out the Doves on my tailgate putting the carcases in one bag and take it home and toss it in the garbage.

Yeah I can snip out a breast cleanly without the wings... I didn't watch the video- just took "pulled the breast and left the rest laying there" to mean that they snipped out the breast meat and left the whole carcass.
