    Used to do that routinely back in the day in Ladner Marsh on opening weekend.Not only 1 limit either several so always were 2 of us.Having a good dog definitely has its plus and minus ,but I would rather take a cripple than leave it to suffer.And even the best dogs and hunters don't get them all.

    Hopefully the birds haven't been decaying there for a few days.
    When in doubt, just pin it.

    Good to know. Do they cloud up or sink in?

    yes both and in that order...you could try it by keeping some leftover heads to get a feel without too much effort if you are really keen on it

    As long as its cold out that probably wouldn't be too much of an issue. Sometimes I don't get the breasts off my ducks until 5 days later when I'm being lazy and they're just fine. Don't think I'd want to gut them, though, that many days later.
