The plucking looks outstanding. Do you use wax? I talked to a fellow who shot several teal just a few days ago in northern Ohio. The migration is slow for sure.

I haven’t tried using wax yet. I still pluck them by hand and then rub my thumb over to get the remaining fluffy down off. I’ll sometimes wear a latex glove when I do that since it seems to work well. I then use a torch to burn the pin feathers off.

By the way, it’s hard to see in the second picture, but there’s a Griff out there retrieving ducks!
