Pluck a duck

[jeebo]

Dad taught me to pluck ducks in a brown paper sack, it reduces the number of feathers floating around.

I'm not getting it, how does that work?

You place the dead duck down in the open sack/bag, reach down inside and pluck the bird, with your hands, while it is in the bag. Most of the feathers and the down stay in the bag.

Oh, that simple

I thought you mean rolling round round in the bag somehow and the threads of the sack catch and pluck the feathers somehow or something.

My bad.

I cant believe that most of you guys have apparently not seen duck pluckers.

In the 60s and 70s they were an essential part of most shooting partys on Duck Opening mornings.
A party of 6 or 8 shooters could do the mornings shoot in no time.
Then divy em up, and into the eskies.

Most of em were on a collapsible tripod, and driven by a 12 volt motor with jumper leads to a ute battery.

The difference between Erotic and Kinky is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Erotic is using a feather.
Kinky is using the whole bird.

yep, made one yrs ago. Motor was an old 12v car generator. You could buy the rubber fingers at the LGS.

Found a few good basic ones when I googled duck pluckerbut this one takes the cake for simplicity.

Some of the power drill ones I seen look nice and basic, just need to secure the drill well enough.

It's not always rocket science
