Beer and birds

[Mobeers]

So yesterday I went duck hunting here in Southern California and came back with three ducks. Not a bad day for me considering my shooting skills or lack thereof. Now I need to marinate them for the next ten hours To takeaway the gaminess or the wife won't eat them. Question is does anyone have a good suggestion as far as a good beer to do this. Porter, stout, IPA? I've got some citrus I plan on sliceing to put on top to compliment it. Thanks!

I personally would soak in a good stout or porter.

I normally slice the breast and wrap bacon around them and grill.

Ok that what I was thinking. I've got some breasts and a whole bird. I'll do a mix of both. Thanks

Fellow duck hunter here.
IPA works well, kind of brightens the flavor.

If your frying, cook med-med rare.
Stewing, longer the better.

Texas Spilt season opens back up Saturday! Here we go again!!

I would soak in milk first. Then soak in beer of your choice to add flavor. I have always thought milk removes some of the gamey flavor.

Ok their in the milk and next the beer. Nice woodie by the way!
