How do dispose of them? Can an infected dead bird spread it to live ones? :dunno:

I shoot anywhere between 4-10 a year with "rice breast".  Almost always mallards and wigeon.

We've been learning new recipes: sausage, burgers, poppers, and a new favorite - duck pot pie.  My wife recently baked a fresh pot pie with duck meat...it was an absolute hit. Everyone in the family loved it.

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

Couple questions for pepperoni...

1. Do you add fat? I'm probably just going to start with a kit. I don't see any recommendations for fat, but every stick I've had had some fat in it. Am I missing something here?

2. Anyone using a metal detector, or are you just cubing it up enough that hopefully you catch everything?

3. I want to add cheese to one of the blends. Does it mix up well enough to get stuffed, or does it need to go through the grinder as well?

I try to add 20% fat.

I found 2 pellets so far, not sure if anything would pick them up.

1. I add 20-30% fat (I'm not very precise on this but adding some really helps the flavor)
2. I clean my birds well and chase every pellet hole I find to make sure there are none in the meat. Then I Cube it and look for holes and chase that again. Then when you grind with a fine blade it will catch a lot unless you shoot shot smaller than size 4.
3. I have never had much luck with cheese so I can't help out there.

10 or so get plucked for the smoker.
10 or so get breasted out with skin and fat on breast, soaked in 50/50 OJ to yoshidas, vacuum sealed and sous vide for 2 hours at 130, seared then sliced.
the other 50-75 pounds gets turned into summer sausage and salami.

I soak mine in pineapple juice over night and then cook it however I feel like at the moment.
At the end of the season, any leftover, gets made into summer sausage
It's not true that I am good for nothing---I can be used as a bad example!!
