Decent shoot this morning


Recommended Posts

Nice job! Question-are you really eating merg and whistler? If so how do you make them even semi edible? I hunt the west end of Ontario and won't waste my time in my blind this year cuz that's all that's flying to date- I refuse to kill anything that I don't eat, not judging just very curious

Only shoot the hooded mergansers as they aren't to bad. Don't shoot other mergansers. I usually make sausage out of whistlers but I don't find them bad eating. Longtails are another story as I haven't found a good way to eat them yet. My fiends 80 year old dad also likes the whistlers.

My grandfather liked the whistlers too, God rest his soul. I hear ya on the long tails - I had them made into pepper sticks a few years ago after trying to roast one. The sticks were good, the roast one couldn't get thrown out quick enough. Good luck the rest of the season-

lots of old squaw around,few good ducks yet,maybe a year for the birds to escape us,lol

But than its hunting and harvesting like fishing and catching,

The ducks do live a long time,some over 20 years.
