Alright, alright...it's a coot. But, not much else flying and my son's first chance at a bird. I hunted him really hard today. Cold, tromping through snow and swamp. Probably 3-4 miles. But, he kept right up and didn't complain. I worried that this was a tough way to get him into duck hunting; exhausting and not much other than a few mud hens. But on the drive home, as he was falling asleep, he said, "Dad, can we go hunting tomorrow?" Looks like I've got a hunting partner. Imagine what might happen once I get him a chance at REAL ducks???
Right on atleast you got something you should be a proud father not very many dads take there kids out nowdays and they wonder why we see so many shootings its because there aren't enough dads like you way to go man
Hey, I whipped up a nice recipe for the coot. Tastes just like chicken...NOT. Kids loved it though.
this was for three birds; breasts, legs, thighs.
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup minced garlic
Tblspoon sugar
enough milk to cover the meat in a bowl
Mix ingredients and pour over meat
Let sit covered overnight in the fridge
pat meat dry
dredge in flour
brown in hot skillet
cover the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil
take a half-cup of the liquid the birds have been chillin' in and add it to the baking dish
try to scoop up and add as much of the garlic as you can
lay the meat in the baking dish and sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, and paprika
Add a couple of dollops of sour cream
add some sliced sweet onion
chop upa cup of tomato and add it on top
cover with foil
bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes
try some mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, and cranberry relish along side.
Downright tasty!!!
