Etiquette in Hunting –
Etiquette, or courteous behavior, in the shooting sports is rooted in a desire to combine both safety and respect for fellow shooters. When everyone understands the fundamentals of etiquette, the enjoyment factor for the activity increases markedly.
The following points are a representative, rather than an exhaustive, list of etiquette tips for bird game hunters. I am hopeful that after having read through the list, you will be able to add one or two more of your own.
Carrying of the shotgun
– While there are several different types of hunting that can be undertaken with a shotgun, the two most popular types, and the focus of this article, are the hunting of upland game birds and the hunting of waterfowl.

Fall Colors of Silver Willow

Many people shy away from cooking wild duck, because of preconceived assumptions that it is difficult to prepare. Fortunately, that isn’t the case. If you’re a duck hunter or are lucky enough to be acquainted with one, try slow cooking wild duck in a Crock-pot or other brand of slow cooker to achieve a tender and succulent bird that will be the star of your next meal.
Wipe down the entire, trimmed duck with paper towels. Season it inside and out with salt and pepper. Insert a bouquet of fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary inside the duck, if desired. Alternatively, insert fresh fruits inside the duck such as apples, oranges or berries. You can also use root vegetables such as onions and carrots.
Saute the duck until lightly browned in a frying pan before adding it to the slow cooker to give it a roasted appearance, if desired. Place a wire rack inside your slow cooker and set the duck on top of it, breast side up.
Cook the duck on high for approximately 3 to 4 hours. Alternatively, cook it on low for 6 to 7 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the duck once it has finished cooking. Lift it carefully and place it onto a platter. Let the duck rest for 10 to 15 minutes prior to carving. Serve with wild rice and gravy or mashed potatoes and green beans.
