Few ppl I know have some. One guy told me it works really good, but he said be careful. He said it's extremely sharp and if u made a wrong move it could be a lost finger. I might get one this year and try it out.

Get one while you can. Some tard is going to cut his finger off and take these people to court.

I had posted that last year to see if anyone used it. Some of the guys said that it didnt work quite as good on smaller birds. Looks good though

pretty cool but it always seemed very wasteful to me to just breast a bird....hell i don't even like to skin one cuz you waste the skin lol

They do something similiar up north on pheasants and it also works good on teal.
1-lay the bird on it's back (belly up) and tuck it's head underneath.
2- spread the wings out and stand on them (keep the head closest to you and your feet as close to the duck as possible.
3-pull up on the feet.

You will end up with the same result as shown in the video.

Yeh that's what we do right now with the trash ducks or if we have a whole lot of birds to clean. I hate plucking ducks by hand. We are looking into building a homemade plucker to keep at the camp. I also like to skin them sometimes too. IMO they cook better in a gravy without the skin. Especially big ducks.

i like to keep the skin on big ducks for making a gumbo. that skin and fat holds alot of flavor. I just breast out teal and other small ones though

I clean teal and small birds by standing on the feet pull on the wings and it just pulls the breast right out. This looks like a good idea for cleaning big birds.

Skin makes the gravy. Ain't no gravy taste as good as one with browned skin.

I just think they get a lot more tender faster without the skin. I don't mind them with the skin, I just think u have to cook them for alot longer get them tender. If u want some tender big ducks with the skin on them, thats 4 hours. I dont have time like that. At least that's what I think. Anyone else think that?
