Fast & Easy Wild Game Bird Cleaning Tips
By Chris Hustad

This type of bird cleaning is best used for ducks, snow geese, lessor Canada geese, and upland game. The process of breasting the bird and packaging takes about 3-4 minutes/bird. It’s a great way to do large numbers at a time. I learned this years back and have been using it ever since.

Simply clip a wing, and rinse and it’s ready to be packaged for legal transport. You can cut off the legs with the remains of the body and discard the rest.

I recommend writing the bird description and date on the bag for identity. I’ve found it to be the best cleaning method for small to medium sized birds.
