We still have a couple weeks of waterfowling left so I made it out the other day and had a low flying flock right on top of me. I got a double, and by the looks of it, this one must have had a heart attack because there isn't a BB to be found.
I typically don't pluck them, but couldn't stop pulling feathers since he wasn't shot up and has a nice layer of fat.
I brined him for 3 days in 1 gallon of orange juice, 1/2 gallon cranberry juice, 1.5 cup salt, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup soy sauce, 3 tsp cure.
After the soak he's been air dying for 24 hours and here's how he looks.
Going to try a 4 hour light smoke then a pepper rub and onto the rotisserie just in time for dinner. It might be a good one.
