How long do un-cleaned ducks stay good in an ice chest?

Assuming you killed them today! We've left them out in cold weather several times. Get some more tomorrow then have a stinky feast of blood and feathers.

Cleanings smell is the worst part of duck hunting.

If you leave em in the ice chest a day or two makes it alot easier to breast them out if you plucking em idk haven't plucked a duck in a while.

Last night a buddy and I cleaned some questionable ones from Sunday. They've been in a cold fridge for a few days and smelled alright. All Greys and a few teal.

They are fine. We have a few old timers at the lease and they tell stories from way back about how some guys would hang the ducks by the neck and when the body fell off then they were ready to clean. Lol! No thanks, I just clean them asap.

If I hunt two days straight, I clean em on the third day. I've waited as long as day 4. If they are iced down well, it doesn't matter.

People are to scared to do stuff like this anymore!! They might get sick and hurt their vagina! As long as the meat doesnt smell like a sack full of assholes you should be okay!

Dude, if you can give me one reason to eat a duck that's been sitting uncleaned in a fridge for 11 days (other than "I ain't no pussy!"), I'm all ears.

Well its simple! Does it smell? Is it discolered? Does it smell like a sack full of a-holes? If it does not, you are going to be fine! its okay maybe your young.
