    What!!!! You don't breast ducks!!! They're easy enough to pluck!!!



    Up to the first wing joint and right up to the leg cut at the knee. No bones to stab into the bag that way. If you smash the wing before the joint then cut at the broken bit. I take it you leave the lungs and blood in a duck too

    I breast them after plucking my first. My opposing thumb and forefinger oppose being squeezed together tight enough to grab those flamin' feathers.

    They are far and few between in this neck of the woods. Our season is two days with a limit of one male bird per day on those days. Mind you since the rules in the guide say there is no limit on birds not listed in the schedule then technically there is an open bag limit all year round on the hens.
