Title: First ever duck hunt!!!
Post by: jennyfell55 on December 08, 2011, 08:43:33 PM: I'm hooked! Apparently it wasn't even a good day but I'm already hooked! HUGE thank you to Fowlweather25, who was kind enough to take me out and introduce me to my new addiction :chuckle: Started out the morning with an owl fly-by nearly giving me a heart attack, and the rest of the day was awesome! I can't even describe it... I had an absolute blast! I didn't manage to hit anything, but still got sent home with 4 ducks :D Thank you so much for the amazing day! Can't wait to get out again soon! For the time being, seared marinated Bufflehead breast, ala Mac n' Cheese hehehe

Sound like fun. I see why you were sent home with the Buffleheads. Enjoy those to the fullest. They will get better eating as you move up the food chain.

Also, how did you end up cooking the bufflehead?

I slice mine thin and stir fry in some teriyaki sauce.
