You aren't cooking it right. There is no reason to not like duck.
It literally tastes like tender new york strip when cooked correctly. If you over cook it, it tastes like liver...

Re: No more duck hunting for me
Put duck or goose in a slow cooker for 8 hours and it tastes just like roast beef. I used to fool my little sister all the time.
The key with waterfowl is to keep soaking in salt water to remove the blood/liver taste.

No way that's real. If it is then the look on that ducks face is really intimidating.

Why is it that all you hunters talk about how good the meat is but have to talk about the techniques to get the wild taste out of the meat or how to disguise it. If it was that good it would be sold in all the super markets along with the beef, chicken and pork.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
You are right bobcat,if you can't eat it straight then you shouldn't kill it.(vermin are an exception) I find sqirrels are on the border of being edible to me. Teal will not pass my lips if woodchips are nearby.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
I shoot a dear every year because I enjoy the summer sausage that our local butcher makes but thats it. I work with several hunters and it's funny, they always say the same thing "You've never had my chili or (whatever they make)" and "yeah I just add some bacon grease and you can't tell the difference."

I've never heard of the slow cooker method nor has any game meat ever tasted gamey to me. All I know is this was my introduction to mallards, pop skin on chest and peel back, filet out the breasts. Fry it in a skillet or wrap in bacon and cook over charcoal. Either way, it's the best steak you'll ever eat.
They do sell venison, just can't afford it in a store. I guess the store gets rid of the GAMEY taste wrapping it in plastic and setting it on a styrofoam tray...

Re: No more duck hunting for me
I enjoy most wild game, except bear. I have done my share of covering up game to sneak it by family and friends. I like duck rare with a sweet sauce, but venison is best served, IMO, grilled with garlic salt and pepper.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
I like the picture. Mallard's taste good.
Back in the old days ducks and geese were in high demand to feed people. Restaurants paid the Market hunters to kill them by the thousands. Why would they do this if they tasted bad. They didn't and don't taste bad. If you know what your doing. When I was young I had the same opinion as some.......duck tastes bad.
First things first. A duck isn't a fricken chicken. You can't just throw the s.o.b.'n duck in the oven, and expect it to taste like your local grocery stores rotisserie special.
I learned many years ago to take a fork to the ducks skin....poking holes all over. Not sticking the fork in to deep that the meet in pierced. This gives a place for the fat to run out of while cooking. Don't over cook!!!!!!!!!remember it's not a fricken chicken. If you over cook your duck it will taste like gamey liver.

Again I say, if it was that good, Arkansas would have duck farms along with all the chicken farms and it would be sold year round. McDonald's would add the duck sandwich to the menu. It's just what it is. I have had duck before that tasted ok but it's hit and miss. Chicken and beef are always tasty. Duck is not. Sorry my duck loving friend. I will give you that duck is better than goose and deer. Deer was really what my above comment was geared towards mostly.

Ok, look through this window. Chickens are easier to care for. Ducks are messier. Chickens cost less MONEY to raise.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
I've killed more ducks than you can imagine, the limits were awesome up in AK in the 80s, we didn't eat the ducks.
We traded the ducks with the natives for red salmon, they loved duck, I also gave my bear to a native family, they loved it.
But I have tried duck, about 142361346 different ways, it was always slightly worse than dirt.

+1 However, I fattened up a few Muscovy ducks on corn and then breasted them and then grilled them Teriyaki style and they were pretty darn good. Especially the Drake - he was a fat pig.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
There is a difference in how duck tastes based on where you are geographically. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest I did a lot of duck hunting and ate a bunch of them too. After moving to Arizona and doing some duck hunting I found that ducks hitting numerous sewer ponds between the PNW and AZ made a huge difference in their taste. By the time ducks migrate down here they taste just like the garbage they have been eating.
The two best ways to cook duck that I have found:
Brine the duck for 24 hours.
Place duck in crock pot with a large jar of apricot preserves.
The other way is to simply throw it in the smoker.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
acorn fed wood duck breasts wrapped in bacon...
bacon makes everything better..
depending on where they are in from the taste does change,.. had one goose I shot once cut open went straight to the bin, not sure if it was sick or what but smelled really bad
Get to hunt Reelfoot lake this year hoping for a Canvasback duck,..they eat mostly grass so should be tasty !

Re: No more duck hunting for me
Well as a farm boy I can tell you the biggest problem is how any animal is cared for after the kill.The second problem is what it was fed or ate its whole life. The third is its age. The fourth is its sex. The shit at the store is full of chemicals and injected with more after death(chicken is the worst pork 2nd)You eat females or castrated males and most are less than 1 yr old. Beef is Aged (properly) If your wild game or self raised stock tastes like crap you are doing something wrong. Or you need a new cook

I always thought it tasted fine enough, it is just a lot of work for the size of meat you end up with.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
Where did i say it took special techniques or something to disguise it?? All I said was "don't overcook it..."
If you overcook beef, chicken, or pork they taste shitty too.
Also, wild duck tastes much different than farm raised (I think). Every time I try duck in a restaurant, it's the crappy Peking duck or something similar which is oily and tastes completely different than wild ducks I eat.

Some bad, some good. First deer I shoot for my wife was excellent. Lived near a spring that had wheat and barley fields around it. Next was a deer I shoot that lived up in the sage brush. She loved deer at first, now never wants to eat another.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
Anyone from south of the US Canada border that eats duck must not look at what sits on every lagoon between Canada and where they were shot. Ducks and geese love shit ponds, esp the divers! Yummy!

Oh, you like duck meat? Well duck down and get some. Used that one on my wife many years ago.

We traded the ducks with the natives for red salmon, they loved duck, I also gave my bear to a native family, they loved it.
But I have tried duck, about 142361346 different ways, it was always slightly worse than dirt.</div></div>
Lol, fresh Alaskan salmon, now we are talking! </div></div>
You don't like deer meat?!

Re: No more duck hunting for me
I quit hunting ducks and/or geese. No matter how I tried to clean, cure, cook, or prepare the meat, it always tasted sort of muddy. I enjoyed going out and doing the hunting, and really liked being out with my buddies, but I figured if I wouldn't eat it, I shouldn't kill it.

Re: No more duck hunting for me
Ducks are bad tasting too me but on the other hand geese cooked in a roo with rice is one of the best meals I have ever had. Went back 5 times and almost made myself sick.

Throw cream of mushroom soup, vegetables, wild rice, and duck breasts in a crock pot. Let cook for 4-5 hours. Enjoy.
