Bacon Wrapped Grilled Duck-One of our family’s favorites!

Now that regular duck season is over we have a freezer full of ducks to eat! One of my Mom’s (Susie Perry) favorite recipes is Bacon Wrapped Grilled Duck. My husband, who is the head cook in our house, got it from her and grills it up perfect! The photo is from our dinner last night.

This is a good recipe for Brant Goose, Black Duck, Pintail, Redhead, or Widgeon. All ducks and geese we hunt here on the Pamlico Sound. We use the duck breast meat for this. You need cream cheese, bacon, salt and pepper.

Butterfly the breast meat. Put pats of cream cheese inside the butterflied breast you made and close back up. Try to keep the cream cheese tucked inside. Wrap the whole breast with the bacon. Salt and Pepper to taste. Grill to the temperature you like your meat. I like mine more done, but my husband likes his more rare. We have found that grilling it on a low heat and not too fast works best. About 7 to 10 minutes a side. If you grill it too hot the cream cheese all melts out before the duck is done! The bacon should be crispy and the cream cheese melted inside when it makes it to your plate. This is a delicious way to cook duck, even my picky five year old son loves it!

Redhead hunting on the Pamlico.

I have missed writing for you this week, but I was down and out with some dreadful germ. I am finally feeling better! One of the worst things about being sick in January is that you miss going duck hunting. And on Hatteras Island, January is all about duck hunting on the Pamlico Sound. It is cold. It is wet. It is hard work. But, my family would not miss it for the world!

I am very lucky that I have a father who would take me along hunting and fishing when I was growing up. I have been able to sit beside him in the duck blind for hours watching the sky. I know the thrill of seeing a flock of ducks approaching. I have felt the remorse of missing a duck by a mile. And I have enjoyed the pride when I have made my shot.

The Pamlico Sound brings us some of the best duck hunting opportunities in the country. The people here have been hunting for generations out of stake blinds and curtain box blinds for redheads, pintails, gadwalls, widgeon, brant and more. The methods have not changed too much over the years. The blinds look very like they did fifty years ago. We now have boats that go faster and gear that keeps you warmer, but essentially the experience is what our grandfathers had.

If you are down this way during the winter months you can hunt with guides out of Hatteras village. Ken Dempsey and Richard Baran are experienced guides who will get you where you need to be. Don’t forget to come by Frisco Rod and Gun for all the gear you need for a great hunt! We are open and happy to help you with guns, ammo, accessories, warm clothing and your hunting license.
