Dundee, finally someone got it
Saw a pukeko with something white in it's beak today. Got the binos out and it was one of our white Pekin eggs, they have just started laying and the friggan brute found the nest!
This picture remind me all the way back to earlier 90s, especially the side by sideQuote:

Tony from Cazador restaurant has a good recipe for pukeko, essentially splitting the breasts and putting pesto inside before a very quick trip through the frying pan.
I like them. OTOH, I also like parries - which common knowledge has as being inedible. It seems a lot of the "inedible" comments come from people who cook like my grandparents did, including boiling vegetables until they were safe for consumption...
My only complaint on pukes is the size of the meat portions, and the number of sinews making the legs almost impossible to deal with.
Puke pie is good. As is pook casarole. Totally under rated but just a bit fiddly with small meat recoveryAttachment 204463

Attachment 208526 mixed bag, one of each grouse, Buffel head duck and a emacied goose, that couldn't make the migration. little dogs a bit of a savage on upland birds, doesnt care for ducks.
Attachment 208527 grouse breasts, ruffles are white, shaptail on the right side of the plate and on bench, spruce on the left side of plate, ruffles and sharptail are very good, spruce can be a bit gamey,
Attachment 208528 seen a Whitetail deer threw the scrub, had time to put in slugs in the 20ga, a doe with two yearling's, left the doe and took the second yearling as the crossed a small creek, clean kill, right threw the lungs heart, breaking the shoulder, on the way out. 2nd yearling stopped and debated taking it, mom then stopped at about 50m and snorted at us, could have shot all three with the rifle, sitting in the truck 500m away, Girlfriend was with us, took a day off due to sore shoulder, and we were exploring a new area for grouse. been a good week, got a grouse or two 3 days out of 4, and a deer.
my step, father was a army cook make rabbitt taste like best fillet even swan was good in his hands but even he couldnt make kahawai or puke edibleQuote:

Onto Summer Ducks and Geese now.
Just to remind everyone what they look like.
Looks like my parrie hunting spot is underwater.
What a clever dog, bet it wasn't easy to train to fetch like that.
I have a few birds that come and go every so often
they never bother me and I leave them alone
However, my wee buddy...
he went zoomies every time he sees them and nothing stops him.
