Don’t overcook them and keep them on the rare side and they’ll be great. Google some recipes and see what sounds good. Can sear in a cast iron and the place in the oven to get done like a steak.
I like to grill them using olive oil and some sort of steak seasoning.
If you plucked and drawn them they’re good roasted

Pan sear in cast iron, add a spoon full of fig balsamic glaze and cook additional min or so. Be sure to start skin side down to render fat and sear. Rare to med rare doneness ^^ I agree with this. Use a little oil to get it started searing before the fat rendering starts. After rendering the fat on skin side flip and cook on the other side till medium rare. Don’t go past medium rare.

Breast them out but leave the skin on. Medium rare at best. I like to put a red wine reduction over the breast after slicing it into 1/2” pieces.

As everybody else said, medium rare is how you want them. Leave fat on the breast. Rinse and pat dry the breast. Add garlic powder and cracked black pepper and place in a ziploc bag. Add a little olive oil and then some Allegro marinade and then let chill for a few hours. No need to over complicate it. Watch out for the steel shot that may be in the breast. Last thing, set the breast out for about 30 minutes to warm up to room temp. It cooks better that way.

Salt and pepper, cook them in a black iron skillet in butter. Leave the skin on when you breast them out Eat them medium rare.

Woodies and Teal are TOP-SHELF tablefare!! The only thing better than a teal is a speck in my opinion. But you are right they are both delicious

Looks like those are gonna be tasty I’d always heard throw ducks in a dark closet for several days up to a week and then clean them. Also heard of hanging them by the head until the bodies fall and then clean them.
I like your method better.

I like your method better. It ain't my method; I got from a web article by a chef at a fancy restaurant. He was, of course, telling how he aged tame duck as part of an elaborate cooking method. I didn't do many of the things he talked about, but aging them in the refrigerator really helped them. Maybe the rain will bring some wood ducks to our place. I haven't seen any at all so far this year.

I’ll take a wood duck or anything at this point. No water. I’m about to sit down at the creek and see what happens but I’ve not seen any flying.
I will lay them on the cold concrete floor in the garage for a few days. Breast up. Them again i usually just breast them out with skin on. I don’t have the patience to pluck em.

You probably already know this, but for the benefit of someone reading this who doesn't you have gotta scald them before plucking. I heat a dishpan of water to just below boiling and then submerge the duck in it for about 10 seconds. The feathers will come off a lot easier then. We used to do turkeys the same way, and still do if I decide I want to bake one.
