What do the "outfitters" do with the thousands of birds left behind by clients?
I usually end up with several truck loads for bait. Collect from the field at the end of the hunt or pick up at the outfitter.

I take the breast and the two wings here and we only take like 5 a day so no big deal. Most times when I have hunted out west the outfitter had this v blade contraption that did it in minutes since out there hundreds could be taken by a group
I will see if I can find one. It was called a wild wing slinger and this is the end result

Ya OK.Clearly never hunted out west and left a field with a 1/2 ton truck box full and 100's
Would love to watch you pluck them or pay to have them done. NOT
Cheers
Breasts and legs are all I take, unless we want some whole birds for roasting. Legs are very easy to turn into delicious pepperettes and sausage at home or quite cheap to have a butcher do it. There's a considerable amount of meat on the legs, especially when you have dozens of birds.
Too cheap, laziness, or ignorance are what come to mind when I see people tossing so much edible meat. It's even excellent protein for the dogs, yet so many just toss it away. It's akin to shooting a deer and tossing everything but the prime cuts.
That looks like a slick piece of gear!
