    I tried to wash the bay down but the DanG feathers went every where.  We need new pillows this year so I guess I will have to hand pluck.  20+ birds is a bit of plucking in one sitting.

We had a good opener, 21 ducks between 4 of us. Would have done better had our shooting been better. As for eating them, I prefer to cut the breasts out and make jerky. It comes out better than beef jerky, very lean.
We get a decent number of bluebills later in the season and they make for some fantastic shooting, but are almost inedible. They feed almost exclusively on small clams and taste so fishy that even a strong jerky recipe still leaves a strong fishy after taste in your mouth. So we have all but stopped hunting them. I have been told that the best way to deal with them is to cook them like fish, in a chowder... but I have not tried that yet.
