Swans, Ducks and Dinner
I'm still a little bewildered to the fact that so many hunters love to go out and hunt waterfowl in cold, wet and mostly freezing conditions. The photo above was taken New Year's weekend at Stillwater where most, if not all, of the ponds were pretty much frozen over. This made it difficult to fill our swan tag since not too much of anything could land without skiddin' directly off the water and landing in the sagebrush.
Allthough, we had not a lot of time and not a whole lot of luck filling our swan tag, our friend was a little more on the lucky side. This mature male swan flew directly over top and made for an easy kill and tasty meal.
BBQ'd Bacon Wrapped KaBobs
- Marinate venison, antelope, duck, swan, chukar in milk for 1-2 days.
- Wash milk off and then marinate in Italian Dressing for 1-2 more days.
- After marinating add a few tablespoons of a dry packet of McMormick Marinade Seasoning: Zesty Herb is my favorite.
- Cut meat into bite size pieces and wrap a small piece of bacon around each one.
- Place meat on a wooden or metal skewer and place on BBQ.
- Be sure to watch your meat since you don't want it overdone.
- Approximately 5-7 minutes on each side.
