 |
|
Yesterday I went out for no more than an hour couldn't find clean water anywhere. Which was really strange cuz the winds have not been up very high. I even went over into Padre Isles hoping to fish some of that deep water to pick up some fish but visibility was about a foot. Saw a lot of boats stuck on shallow water sandbars. So today decided to go duck hunting with my son and twin grandsons instead of fishing.

| It was a blast, literally. We couldn't fish so we got to the blind early. Taught the kids how to use the duck calls. They were calling in ducks for us and we all had a fun time. |

| I'm going to make them by marinating them in mixture of half orange juice and half Italian dressing for several hours and then throw them on the grill. Just a couple minutes on each side |

Sounds like some good eating! The hog stroganoff sounds interesting. We eat a lot of deer and hogs around here. Chicken fried is my favorite but i like it all. My wife's favorite way is the canned deer and hog we make. Make tacos or in a gravy with it. Looks pretty gross in the jar but is really good! |

Same here - in my younger days, i loved to hunt ducks and geese, i stopped on ducks same reason as you, the geese - nice snows we used to knock down here in the flats - between odem , annaville and the bay, off from the rail road tracks. Breast of those snows - to me was like roast beef. Sand hills werent legal back then, from what i hear, they sound pretty tasty. And i love venison, specially back strap of course, and most of all, wild hog.

Here was our dinner tonight. I marinated the duck breast overnight in Italian dressing and orange juice then I did it on the grill. I made an orange juice Cabernet wine sauce to put over the top of it. Added some orange slices and zest. Not a gamey taste whatsoever. Mary loved it and couldn't get enough. So she wants to invite our friends over when I get some more ducks.
