Don't overlook mallard legs and thighs either. I haven't tried them....but....
Back in the 80s when we'd go to Arkie there was an old trapper who traveled around the country following the trapping season out there from his home in Colorado. He traveled in an old school bus he'd converted to a camper, kept it parked near the ramp at the Meto. He was there to trap the beaver so he was all over the flooded oaks and knew every inch of them. That meant he knew the holes the ducks were using.
He'd tell you where the ducks were for a "price". That price was if you'd give him all the duck legs. He loved them. We breasted our ducks, so we'd just donate the rest of the carcass, legs, backs and thighs, to him.
I hate I never asked him how he prepared them. I know they're tough as pig-iron so I figure he must have stewed them somehow.

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
