Sounds like you are all doing just fine to me!<BR/><BR/>Norcal, yea I wish I would have put her in the freezer and taken her to the ODFW on my way home. After doing some google searches about duck tumors, there are lots of illnesses that plague waterfowl. Next time I will give it to ODFW.Terry Scovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921175577588776380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-18331763543650439452008-11-11T06:16:00.000-08:002008-11-11T06:16:00.000-08:00Weird!

It'd be interesting to hear from biologists whether it would be a health risk to cut out the tumor and eat around the bird.<BR/><BR/>Weirdest thing I've found plucking isn't that weird. It was a terrible shoot day and just one bird came our way - a lone spoonie hen who made the mistake of dropping into our spread. I shot her, and when I got home and plucked her, I saw scabs healing on her back. She was probably just recovering from a coyote or hawk attack when I came along and shot her. Man, that made me feel bad. Poor girl didn't get any breaks.Holly Heyserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134909592916671876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-59134254958943387272008-11-11T05:05:00.000-08:002008-11-11T05:05:00.000-08:00One of the deer we shot last year had a huge tumor...One of the deer we shot last year had a huge tumor in one of its hindquarters - we disposed of that whole leg and ate the rest...
