For any wild game gravy.

Get a lb of bacon and cook it down in a black iron pot. Then dust your game with flour and cajun seasoning and brown it in the bacon drippings. Pull the meat out and put it on the side. Add some chopped onions, bell pepper, celery to the mix. Cook that down tills its brown adding water as necessary to keep it from sticking. Add some garlic and cook it for a few minutes. Add your meat back into the pot and cover it with water. Put a lid on the pot and let it cook till the meat is tender. There really is no secret recipe

Where I'm from, the spoonbill feed on rice and crawfish, so they don't have much of a fishy taste.


Huh?

Crawfish and rice are grown in the same fields that we hunt duck in, and spoonbill feed on fish and crustaceans and rice.. They eat rice, too. Fattens 'em up really nicely.

I've always pulled feathers on the breast of a spoonie, if its reddish it gets tossed or given away. If you're worried make duck bombs, that will make even a snow goose taste good.

BTW almost all the birds we've been killing lately have been full of snails from bill to butt.

Yeah, I just thought the crawfish would give them a fishy taste.

Also, don't spoonbills feed on crustaceans in the marsh also? Lots of people think they are in the marsh feeding on cochaoes and mullet. The way they talk about them being fish eaters.

Since the crawfish feed off of the rice, too, they have a little less of a fishy taste.

That stinks... literally and figuratively.
