Well this is my first season I already had the shotgun (Mossburg pump) and warm camo clothing as I am a deer hunter So far I have only used about 25 bucks worth of ammo 20 bucks on a camo netting hood and 80 odd bucks for the season licence. As for places I was lucky having mates with access to a massive farm with a big pond and Maimai in the middle which we had exclusive use of for the opening 8 ducks for the opening of which I got 3 and one guy missed out completely 2 from the Maimai we jsut stood up they took off and twice I got lucky. the 3rd was a Parrie which I got from the car driving along we spotted them beside the road I was on the opposite side so when the car stopped I got out retrieved the shotgun from back seat loaded it hiding behind the car then snuck along road and behind treestump got closer then stod up and shot duck about 5 meters above my own head.

From a cooking point of view I reckon the rabbits and goat I got same weekend cook up better.

That definately wasn't wild duck the pork didn't look anything like wild pork either.

Stupid question that Im asking but how much does wild duck as opposed to duck that you buy from Thai restraunts differ! I imagine they would be alot more gamey in flavor, I know venison does and to compare wild venison to farmed is an insult,there is no comparison. I'm quite keen to give duck shooting a go,would you recomend it as a whole!Im not keen to spend hundreds on a mai mai and thousands of decoys and what not. How productive is Pond stalking by comparison to Mai Mai or Mai Mai style duck shooting!I'm really only prepared to buy a semi Stoeger for the shotty and an extra 400 for decoys,would this cut the mustard!

No I also thought that as I went back after posting here to watch it...but the duck recipe looked nice I do a thin sliced steak like that..so many people don't like rare meat though...
Me I am still holding out for someone to give me one a duck that is :)The other I'm not going to go there :) But thanks for the offers ;) Just maybe if you came visiting with Duck, Venison, Goat and Wild Pork I might rethink it...

you dont want to spend hundreds! find another hobby mate. Amo alone in a season will cost you hundreds

It is an expensive hobby, but most hobbies are. My son, (first year with adults licence), spent $326.00, bullets and licence, my husband didnt tell me what he spent.. I can't complain as I like eating them. Plus we have 2 labs who love this time of the year.

My family likes this simple caserole. Dust duck breasts in flour. Briefly sear on both sides in frypan. Soften a sliced onion in pan too. Then put both in a caserole dish. Cover with juice from a 439g tin pineapple, 1/4 c sherry, slosh of soya sauce, salt and pepper. I also like some chopped parsley but this is optional. Cover and cook at 180 degrees for about 50 mins. Alternative sauce is 1 c red wine, juice from 1 orange, herbs, salt and pepper ( and mushrooms optional.) Can thicken with cornflour at end. both nice and easy.

Aren't the dogs awesome my mate brought along his black lab who has been deer hunting before but not duck hunting fortunately the first duck was shot over grass so my mate sent the dog to fetch but he didn't know what he was after so ran around ground sniffing I wandered over stood beside the duck until the dog came over to check me out he then spotted the duck and picked it up and took it back to drop at his masters feet from then on he just did it when asked and retrieved all the ducks from the pond. Its just natural for them EH! We are going again next week hoping we will do better after our new found knowledge of the shooting and area me for ducks and my mate for a deer he spotted last week in a side valley.

It was my plan to do something like this this time also rather than pluck I was going to skin and then take the meat off as it looks much easier won't even have to gut.

wadboy, May 15, 1:06am
This recipe has skin removed. I'm lucky a duckshooter that uses our lake drops them off all done and bagged for me.

beaker59, May 15, 5:46am
Sounds like he does what I intend to do, you have your own lake how lucky is that :)

I have to go to Palmy soon to check on some property I have there was thinking of talking to my cousins who farm near Opiki they also have ponds and rivers through thier place hoping to get in some action there they also have a pidgeon problem at times so may have a go at that :) Pidgeon pie.

Do NOT hang them out in the open - BIG mistake! Especially In Northland! We still have 10 to 12 degrees at night!

I would pluck and gut them on the day you got them - then put into a plastic bag and fridge them!

My laying hens get fridged for 3 to 5 days at 4 degrees (depending on age).

Make sure of the temperature of your fridge! Get a thermometer!

Everything else (like "hang it until the head falls off") is barbaric and will make you vomit because of the taint from the guts ... don't succumb to best mates "tips"!

beaker59, May 18, 7:11am
Agreed as you know I handle allot of game and didn't like the undrawn idea at all particularly considering the damage shot can do perforating the gut etc. So I drew straight away while hot in the quiet periods and they hung outside first night then into fridge.By the way the rabbits were better eating IMHO but the best game from that weekend was the young nanny I got :)
