Blind breakfast!

[ribsey_77]

Trying to get some ideas for what to cook in the blind. Getting real tired of fricking doughnuts! I'm gonna be cooking on a Mr. Heater cooker. Egg, bacon, sausage???? What else is good/easy in the boat?

[HNTNBUX]

My absolute favorite is to make the filling for breakfast burritos. I use hashbrowns, egg, ham, cheese, onion and green pepper seasoned to taste. I then put single servings in vacuum sealed bags and freeze it. In the morning after the decoys are out I heat up a pot of boiling water with the required servings inside and hand them out while we wait for sunrise.

It has been a very big hit in my boat.

Bring seasoning, English muffins, bacon, eggs, and single slices of American cheese. Shoot a duck, fry the bacon, take the bacon out and use the grease to fry up the seasoned duck breasts/legs and eggs. Compile ingredients on English muffin, top with cheese, and enjoy. It's messy, greasy and a freaking mouth-gasm. We made these breakfast duckwiches last fall while on a hunting trip in Manitoba. It was rainy, windy and overall miserable, but that sandwich did more to lift my spirits than a bombing flock of bull cans.

Well, almost. But it was still darn delicious!

[CANOPY SAM]

Wow! That does sound good.

[erikwells]

I am a very simple man but goose jerky in blind is pretty cool in my opinion. However some of you are making me think I should bring out mr. heater/cooker and make myself a breakfast burrito.

[Finlander]

Ever watch the "Take'Em" duck hunting video's with Barney Calef? He cooks breakfast in his boat on his pull out stove mounted inside. Pretty cool ifinz you ask me! Check that out!

I would delete this post. It's illegal to do what you described.

[ribsey_77]

How is this illegal?

Page 31 of waterfowl regs

you may not completely field dress migratory birds, except doves, see page 12, before taking them from the field.

Regulations may be different north of the border...

Slice of Summer sausage{preferably veni)fired in a pan, with a egg over the top until don, topped with pepper jack cheese on bread.. and if you really wanna get fancy use corn bread..

[ribsey_77]

So as stated above. How is breasting a duck in the field, cooking it and saving the carcass for your daily limit not acceptable? Just like cleaning fish in the shack.

[CANOPY SAM]

It's not illegal. As long as you count it toward your daily bag limit.

If you ate a bird or two in the blind, chucked the carcasses, and killed another couple birds to fill out the limit, that would be illegal = surpassing your "daily" bag limit.

Relax guys. I think we all know the laws.

Gordie. That sounds like a tasty sandwich. I can definitely see using some spicy venison summer sausage, and zingy pepper jack cheese to round out that little morsel!

Um...no. Thanks for thinking about my welfare, though. With a little one on the way, I'd hate to get hauled off to the slammer for eating a duck out in the marsh instead of at my kitchen table where all the other law-abiding citizens do....

[TylerS]

Seriously though, I think a Game Warden would probably ask for a duckwich if he came upon one of those gastronomical delights in your blind. And as mentioned by CS, if you keep the carcass and count it toward your limit (the same way you would on a fishing trip), what's the big deal? All the CO wants to know is what you're actually shooting, and that you're not tossing hacked up duck carcasses out in the reeds.

Actually all he really wants to do is give you a ticket.

With an attitude like that, why even hunt? Heck, if I thought COs where out there just looking for things to write tickets for, I'd be a lot less cordial with them. As it so happens, of the dozens of run-ins I've had with them through the years, I've only had one that gave me the run around, and that was while walleye fishing in Minnesota. Even then, and even after he found that my dad didn't have the necessary fire extinguisher in his boat (news to us), he still let us off with a verbal warning. We stayed friendly and treated him like we'd treat anyone else. I figure that if'n you don't have anything to hide, don't worry...

[TylerS]

Sorry for diverting this awesome topic with garbage about COs, to get back on track, here's another good idea for blind breakfast.

Have your wife make sticky buns (mine makes killer, killer sticky buns) and then hand them out to all your buddies right before legal shooting time. They won't be able to resist, and just as the first big flocks begin working, you'll have them all to yourself because your hunting buddies hands will be covered in sticky caramel and bun crumbs. GENIUS

[CANOPY SAM]

Ha ha ha!!! That actually made me laugh out loud Tyler! Good plan.

I can't say I've ever cooked duck breast in the blind, but I have taken many duck and cheese sandwiches on various hunting and fishing trips. I'm not an absolutely huge fan of the flavor of duck and goose, but when sauteed correctly, and thin sliced, with a nice wedge of tasty cheese, all laid out on some fresh spinach and a good Dijon' mustard, and wrapped in a nice facocia (sp?) bread roll. That's livin' right there!

dew. Honestly? I know a bunch of DNR folks, and I don't know a single one of them that WANTS to give you a ticket. They WANT to see you obeying the law. They WANT to see that your safe. And they WANT to see that you are being a good steward of the resources we're blessed with in our country. Pretty sure they WANT to keep the ticket book in their back pocket, but it is their job to enforce the law, and sometimes that means issuing citations to people who are actually breaking the law. It is, what it is.

[Gordie]

I actually tried that a few years ago Tyler and you what ...My gun was sticky too

Another thing I have cooked in the blind is country style sausage doesn't take long to disappear either..

BTW, I buy the donuts too, but I try and save them for the CO's. Its a law enforcement thing and it does help, kinda like a bribe.

LOL! I'm doing this! hahaha

If you eat them in the field you are not taking them from the field. And if you just cut the breast out you can keep the rest of the carcass to include in your limit.

Omelet in a bag. Put eggs, meat. cheese etc in a heavy ziploc put in boiling water. Cook till eggs look done, season to taste. We eat them right out of zip locs, easy cleanup. Careful though labs love them even better than donuts so be careful if you have to set it down.

English muffin, slice of ham, fried egg. Easy and tasty. All done over the mr heater with a small pan. I normally do these ice fishing, but I wouldn't hesitate to do them in the blind if I had the room to pack the cooking gear.

...My brain just exploded. That's probably one of the coolest ideas I've ever heard of...
