Good Mallard Day

[ida homer]

Made the 4 hour drive to Eastern Idaho to our honey hole.

The P.I.C, 9 year old veteran ready to rock.



Geese over water is hard to beat.



The first flock of the day were pins, a rarity for ID.



I botched it with the hen buried on the right, rookie. This spot fails to disappoint. 3 years of just limit after limit. Public land spots don’t stay this good for long, I’m sure someone will find it eventually. But I guess part of the fun is moving on and scouting new water once they do. Until then, it’s always good to get lucky.

Next time stop in for lunch. U must of been close to my house. I have a few deer hunting spots that are loaded with mallards and others. I can limit out from my treestands if I was duck hunting.

 

[BlakeA]

Awesome!

Your pup seems to share my same feelings towards pictures!

If you have flooded timber holes, will travel!

Haha. He's ice cold, not even for a grip and grin after a pile of retrieves.

Does anyone have any duck recipes for the smoker? I'm thinking something long and slow.

 

[Deleted member 38069]

This has worked well for mallard breasts!

Great early morning pic of the Lab with his "game face" on !!

That's sweet. Public land honey holes are always a ton of fun.

Hank Shaw tea smoked duck

I smoke a good many duck breasts every year, I just mix up a wet brine using Morton tender quick and sugar, recipe for that is on the bag. Brine the skin-on breast filets overnight, rinse them clean and pat dry, grind fresh black pepper onto them and smoke at about 220 for a couple hours. It’s a no frills recipe thats super delicious. Sliced thin and served with crackers and cheese, we call it duck bacon. If I show up to any holiday party without a tray of it I would risk being excommunicated by my family.

I like your attitude! A must when hunting public lands.
