Do you pluck or wax ? Your ducks I mean

[longpointer]

Many of us do it by hand and some pay the local plucker for that joy but does anybody still use the hot wax method ?

[FishHog]

When I hunted more I did the hot wax method. Made for a beautiful finish.
Now I pluck and singe with a blow torch or early in the year just skin them

fortunately don't get much waterfowl early just breast them out if not heavily pinned will pluck. Any other bird gets plucked using hot water.
