I Shoot Hens

[TheSkyBuster]

I'm a Hen Killer.     The only way i can sleep at night is to remind myself I'm hunting for meat.  "you can't eat the feathers" right?  don't they all taste the same?  Meat in the freezer is what it's all about.  The majority of my birds get shredded and squished into pepperoni ("duckeroni").  Some get cooked whole into fancy duck dishes that are decent at best, but thats usually the birds from the first hunt of the season, after that it's into the freezer till spring, because the cajun or peking duck breasts we had the other night just weren't all that good and duckeroni is awesome........ plus a stick goes really good with my morning coffee. 
  Yesterday at first light I doubled on greenheads, and then they turned into hens when they hit the mud. That will change your attitude on picking out birds real quick.  A couple days ago I dropped a greenhead that didn't have a green head, in my defense it was still a drake.  Maybe I should have my eyes checked?  Mom always said I'd go blind!  She may have been right.  Maybe the geese are to blame?  who can tell the difference between boy and girl geese?  nothing wrong with shooting those hens.  Why not shoot the lady Mallards? oh yeah because the limits 2,  but then why do they taste just as good?  Ah well,  the hunting is just starting to get hot and my freezer is just starting to fill up.

I Did it again,  I shot a Hen and a Drake Mallard this morning and the dog retrieved 2 hens.     Maybe it's the dogs fault?

Pictures later

I also shoot hens. Nothing wrong with it. I also will not pass on a doe deer. I am a meat hunter.

If it flies, it'll end up in the freezer.  That's the way I look at it.  Have yet to get my bull sprig for the wall (I have a few trophies I want), but the hens are in the freezer waiting to be turned into duckaroni.

Except I got 3. I just cooked them up and, guess what?
They tasted like a duck. Who knew?

Just remember that they don't all taste the same.  So, picking and choose can be a wise choice at times.
