When things get crazy we usually breast skin on or skin off depending on what you want to do with it. If I'm smoking the breast I like skin on, if I'm making up burgers or sausage we don't bother keeping the skin on. the thighs I make a lot of stews but some braze them for hours in a slow cooker and make a like a BBQ pulled pork recipe with them. We have ample limits in BC, no shortage of birds in certain areas and tonnes of options for preparing them.
Enjoy your birds, some don't like the taste of waterfowl. To me it brings back so many found memories of me of past hunts with my father. I've always enjoyed the eating it, and just the smell & taste of it brings back so many good memories spent with my Dad.
