Another Immature Hunter

[popeshawnpaul]

It's amazing how many people hunt and shoot ducks just for the "sport" and don't eat them!!  really pisses me off! and makes us all look bad.

That's why I stopped hunting ducks.  It's fun but I don't like to eat it so...

I hunted ducks a lot when I was growing up.........sometimes we would even get a short hunt in before school.  I never missed a weekend during the season, and back then I really didn't like the taste of duck very well.  But I ate a lot of ducks even though I didn't like the taste much. 

Then after moving out on my own and cooking for myself, I found some better ways of cooking them.  Now I realize that it wasn't the duck that tasted bad, it was the cook that didn't know how to correctly cook them.  The secret is to marinate them in orange juice.  I do like the pepperoni idea also, but never tried that............

As long as the game you kill is eaten I have no problem with it.
When hunting with friends it's iffy who shot what sometimes.
 Killing it dead is a lot more important sky busters, 600yd shots on large game, using 2 lb line to catch 10lb fish and so on just for bragging rights.Sucks big time

Duck meat makes a killer summer sausage and pepperoni 

Sad to hear of the waste....

I have actually had the wife cut it up into cubes and make a nice duck stew...

I have hunted Big Ditch this year, never really seen many birds out there. I did happen to be out there when the snow hit, and the snow geese were flying super low trying to find somewhere to eat. There happened to be acouple guys out there shooting at them from the parking lot, so I approached them and asked if they had their snow cards. And of course they didn't, but that wasn't going to stop them. I just wish that the game department went out there more often cause I have seen more stuff go on there that isn't the least bit legal.

Another story...last weekend there was two guys trap shooting with lead shot out where I usually hunt. Now there is broken skeets everywhere and whop knows how much lead is now scattered around there....

Sad to say but Big Ditch is becoming a unhuntable location.

ya you have to wake up way to early in the morning for something that tastes so bad. So I quit hunting them.

[ICEMAN]

Good!

That leaves more for those of us who learned how to cook them!

Went hunting on Tuesday morning, to Big Ditch in Stanwood, one of the states local hunting locations, and as I made my way out to my usual hunting location, I came across a large black garbage bag. I figured someone had been littering again. But as I approached it, a strong smell along with the side of the bag had been torn open, with duck wings and heads sticking out the side. I got a little closer (covering my nose and mouth due to the horrible smell) and used the boot of my waders to open the bag a little more. Inside was approximately four or five white garbage bags, stuffed with dead ducks. There were about three to four per bag, so that would equal out to about two people's limits on birds. They hadn't been breasted or anything, just shot, stuffed in a bag, then ditched at Big Ditch. Very sad and a huge waste of birds. Sad to see stuff like this happen.

Stan, I have to disagree with you about those people being Immature Hunters.  I do not think they are hunters at all.  Hunters will not leave what they have harvested, certainly not in plastic bags like that.  We can only speculate on who they are.  If I had to guess, it will be that they are ANTI-hunters planting bad evidence to make us real hunter look bad in the eyes of the public.

Truly it is sad and a waste.

not that this is any better but I wonder if they were going to mount them and his wife made him get rid of them because they sat in the freezer to long. Them wives are evil

Today I was looking at land down in tenino, found four bags filled with ducks tossed along side the road where we were land shopping. I started snapping pictures, then took a stick and opened the bags more, (stinky) and found they were atleast breasted out.... Still *censored*s for tossing them this way, but atleast they tried to use the birds.

I still eat most of the bird, lots of extra meat there if you take a few minutes per bird.... I'd feel bad just breasting out a duck.

A few Years back i was doing some late archery deer hunting in the Skukumchuck area and came aross and a pile of about 40 ducks that someone just dumped, right off Thompson Creek RD.

It was a horrible sight.

[Red Dawg]

that is terrible. i will not say that I eat every piece of meat on every animal that I kill but that is just wrong.

[gasman]

I personally do not have a problem if someone takes the breast and then disposes of the rest responsibly, but to just toss ot the whole animal and kill for the sport of it is just wrong................

That reminds me of something that I should post under the thread "What pisses you off"...........
More than a few occasions I've seen garbage bags with deer or elk carcasses and the hide tossed out at the end of a road or at a gate where I've headed out to go hunting. 

Now, I don't see a problem w/ tossing out the remains of their butchered deer or elk, but WTF?  Can't they throw the plastic bags in the garbage?

[ICEMAN]

No kidding.  Plus, spread it out abit guys. Some of these areas get freaking gross as multiple hides and carcasses get tossed at the same spot each year. Spread the wealth!
