top) mervin plucking the duck.

middle) building a fire and getting ready to boil the duck.

bottom) burning any little down feathers off before we quarter up and boil the duck.

this was a little snack we had while we were hunting: first you pluck the duck, then you put it on the fire to get the remaining feathers, occasionally taking it of the flame to whip with a spruce branch, quarter, boil for 40 minutes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, eat. the immediacy of the whole thing is pretty wild. shoot, kill, cook, eat, shoot some more.
