From marsh to table… I don’t trophy hunt. I hunt for food. I got to teach my nephew about how important it is to know where your food comes from and how much healthier it is to eat wild and free animals. He got to watch the de-feathering and quick butchering process which was also neat. My cousin Jeremy had a wood duck and two more teal he from a previous hunt and I cooked them all up today in a crock pot with onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, salt & pepper. The teal was the most tender meat I’ve eaten in so long and didn’t taste “gamey” at all. 

My family was impressed with my @huntershdgold lenses after I let them try them on. Jeremy said, “no wonder you keep spotting all the birds. You can see everything!” Been trying to tell yall, these lenses are game changers for hunting. Also, shoutout to him for some impressive duck calling! 

Thank you to @BenchmadeKnives for sending me their Flyway fixed blade which was perfect for the tiny cuts I needed to make.

@FederalPremium shotgun ammo got it done with my grandpa’s @Benelli_USA Super Black Eagle II 12 gauge. 

I can’t wait for my duck hunt next week! Ready to harvest a few more birds. I live for days like this and for putting delicious wild game meat on the table!
