Electric duck plucker?
Does anyone use an electric duck plucker w/ the rubber fingers? Wonder how they work?

I would like to see how this would work on ducks and geese they are little pricey but seems like the ticket

We used to use one when I was young and we hunted the marsh around vbay. It's too easy to pay $2.00 a bird now and they ready to put in the freezer wrapped and all.

That's what I'm saying even no matter if you got a easy way to clean them or not that's the ticket for someone who is huntin 4 or 5 times a week even if you have 15 or 20 ducks that's quick work and after a year at 5 to 7 bucks a bird it'll pay for its self in a season or two

They work pretty good. Especially if you scald the ducks first.

One of the videos said you have to scald and you have to have a way to wash plucked feathers out. The bad thing is to buy one of those machines the cheapest I saw them for was 600

My uncle build one of the whiz bang pluckers, bought all the instruction manual and pieces from the guy that makes em. While they do great for chickens like shown in the YouTube videos they DO NOT work as great on ducks. They are too small and either get ripped up pretty bad or get spit out of the feather discharge. I've witnessed this first hand.

When I was a kid we had a box with a motor inside with rubber knobs on it. Then had shop vacs hooked to them. Turn on the motor and shop vac and pluck em. Shop vac would suck up all the feathers and you would just dump shop vac.

I have one sitting in storage. Havent used it years.Willing to trade it for some teal as I don't duck hunt anymore.

Pm Sent. If you don't have any teal no big deal you can still have the machine. I used to not like them but after reading reports about how good they are I just wanted to try them again.
I'm leaving tomorrow around 1:00 thru Thursday to bow hunt but will be home mid day Thursday. |

Here's mine. I have a video but it's too big to post and I don't know how to make it smaller. It was made in 1979, I replaced almost half the rubber fingers about 2 years ago but other than that it's still going strong. I can pick a teal in 30 seconds and a big duck in about a minute. The teal in the attached picture were all cleaned on the plucker just as they are. You may have a feather or two between the legs you have to pull but other than that it's pretty much ready for the pot.

My brother took his son on the youth hunt and gave me teal so don't worry about that. Do you still want it haven't heard from you?

How much do these things go for?
