First post on here, have been lurking for months. I'm new to hunting this season and I shot my 2nd duck today. I breasted the first one and had a bit more time to spend on my second today. This year's goal was one duck which I've now doubled. Next year's goal is one deer.


I'm going to cook up half of the duck today in a coffee rub (along with the heart )as an appetizer. I want to save the other half until Friday (today is Monday). Will it keep in the fridge until then the way I've butchered it, or do I need to freeze it? I've also never eaten a heart before - All I did was cut off the top and rinse it under cold water. Good to cook up and eat like that?


It is truly amazing how much goes into getting your first couple ducks when you haven't had any previous hunting experience or exposure. It feels extremely rewarding and fulfilling, in a way I haven't experienced. Thank you to all the contributors on here, very helpful for noobs!
