Cleaning a duck

So you just got home with your bag limit and now what, well make your catch ready to be cooked or frozen. People have many different ways to clean a duck but one of the easiest is to step on its feet and neck, stick 3 fingers on top of the breast and pull out the breast. Now you can just pluck the remaining feathers and clip one wing. The reason you only clip one wing is because you have to be able to identify your catch even after cleaning to keep it legal. Place in individual freezer bags to store and mark the bird types on the bag to keep your freezer organized.
