Surviving Duck Season I’ve eaten spoonies and they’re fine. I think canvasbacks are the best, at least in ca because they all eat rice. I have some mallards, woodies, teal, and more in the freezer that I’ll have to try out.

In the flooded rice fields here in N. Calif. where I hunt we get alot of spoonies, misc. divers (scaup, ring-neck), and I learned a trick years ago to soak the meat over-nite in a pot of water with a little bit of salt and a big bunch of fresh cilantro. Might even drain the water and refill a time or two. Really does wonders for some of the lesser birds. Of course, if you dont like cilantro, that could be a problem. Do love eating wild duck..... cant wait for the fall.

I've done similar taste test with the people I work with. Anything from Redhead, Mallard, Canada goose, gw teal, and ringneck. Folks loved them all. I will say that I killed a limit of Bluewings in early season here in North Alabama, and they were awful! I don't know where they had been feeding but that group was inedible. This was one of my favorite episodes. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Cook it all medium rare. No worries eating spoonies. I do see a higher proclivity for them to have "rice breast" or parasites. I eat a pile of ducks both puddle ducks and divers. From SK to the gulf. I breast em (skin on or off and pluck them whole. Grill, roast, fry, and broil. To me there is some variation but mostly in meat density and texture rather than taste. However, I am not that fond of sea ducks but in defense of them I have only harvested them once.

The spoony has become the mallard of ca as we shoot lots of spoonies in northern ca . I think they do get a bad reputation they dont taste as bad as people say. We shoot a lot teal here as well and they have a great taste but small breast. All the ducks u mentioned in the video we shoot here. As far as geese I think speck, Canadian goose , and then snow. Canada geese taste more like beef than a bird but we dont shoot a lot of those here compared to specks and snows.

We ate a lot of geese when I was growing up. We never killed many snow geese, but when we did, they didn’t seem to taste much different than Canadas. We cooked goose breasts in the crock pot, then ground them up and added eggs, mustard, mayo, and sweet pickle relish to make a patte (were hics from the sticks, so we called it goose salad). Wood ducks were the best-tasting ducks. I loved them cooked in the oven surrounded with long grain rice and cream of mushroom soup.

I used to live in Logan, Utah and hunted the refuges on the Great Salt Lake. Spoonies tasted bad, their primary diet was brine shrimp. They also have been tested and had high mercury (www.ducks.org/media/Utah/_documents/Q_amp_As_-_mercury_in_ducks[1].pdf). Up here in Alaska they taste great and we grill them at duck camp over alder coals almost every night. Their diet is similar to teal up here in Alaska.

Having lived in an area where we have everything from mallards to sea ducks and Brant, and I have eaten most everything that is legal to harvest over the thirty years of waterfowl hunting, I have come to the conclusion that no species of waterfowl is bad to eat, but individual birds can be. I have cleaned mallards that were worthless as table fare and I have eaten buffleheads that taste like crab. Snow geese if cooked right tastes very close to beef.

I pluck and cut up mallards and wood ducks (while birds not just breasts), fry a little with garlic and onions. Add some spices and water make a broth and then mix it with some basmati rice let it steam cook in the rice on low burner. I add some Afghan rice (palaw) spices too. Tastes amazing specially wood ducks. Never tried divers.

I’m in Alaska and we have been eating a variety of ducks. I cooked some shovelers and they were great. Green wing teal was my kids favorite. I haven’t dug into any of the divers yet but we ate a few mallards and they were great. However one mallard was definitely one of the worst tasting birds I’ve ever had. It was hard to get through.
@troyduncan1969 2 жыл бұрын
Prep and cooking is the most important factor. I live in Minnesota so we harvest a lot of divers in late season. I am meticulous in my cleaning and remove any congealed blood from the shot entry points. Similar concept to bleeding a mammal before butchering. I also let my ducks sit in ice cold water for one day to remove excess blood as waterfowl has a ton of blood in the meat; some blood is good for flavor but you do not want liver flowing blood. I skin all my ducks - no plucking and no skin. Domestic duck skin and fat is great but I prefer skinless breasts for wild duck. Never over cook duck - medium rare to rare in my opinion. My favorite ducks to eat are puddle ducks as I do think they taste better than divers but the divers turn out very well too. For geese, I smoke them like a roast beef to medium rare and then eat them cold. Love your videos.
@troyduncan1969 2 жыл бұрын
The other major factor is what did the specific duck or goose eat before you shot it - similar to venison. If the game primarily ate farmer's corn and such, it will taste more mild.

I would suspect the divers would taste kind of "off" from where a lot of the detritus and fecal matter would settle at the bottom it may injest. But, from what I've learned it's mostly about how it's prepared from what the game was eating, how it was harvested, how it was seasoned, to how it was cooked and served.

In northern CA we shoot a lot of Shovelers so you have to learn how to cook them right. When cooking Shovelers I saute onions then quickly sear the skinless breasts to medium rare then top with either a balsamic vinegar glaze or topped with a sweet chili sauce then place the breasts and onions over rice. The key is to remove the skin and do not overcook them.

We eat everything, shovelers, divers, and even whistling ducks. But I've stopped shooting shovelers due to the increase in rice breast in shovelers where I hunt. I also dont shoot whistling ducks anymore after cutting open a particular sour smelling black-bellied whistling duck a few years back. I'd heard of the meat smelling if before based on their diet, but it was the first time I'd ever seen it. The meat itself also had a yellowish tint to it.

Depends on what they eat. In our area in southern Alberta, teal, pintails and mallards taste best, coots are the worst. Everything else is in between and similar to each other. I eat the legs as well as the breasts-a bit tougher but not to be wasted. Canada geese and lesser canadas are tough as nails, most hunters grind the breasts up for sausage and crock pot cook the legs. I have not been fortunate enough to harvest a speckle belly goose, but they have a good reputation for eating.

People cook wild game much like store bought food and expect it to taste the same. There are different ways to prepare and cook wild game. 2. People go by what others have told them about game. I found that if you don’t tell people they specifies or even the meat in some cases they eat and enjoy it just fine. All in their heads 3. I’m sure waterfowl can taste different upon the region hunted based on the duck/goose diet. I like making fajitas out of our ducks and everyone loves them. Usually it is a mixed bag of different duck meat. Great video.

Cannot tell any difference in a spoonie. The big difference in snows is whether they've been on wheat or waste grain (for context, Im an East AR hunter as you are).

Yeah, I also think the birds age may as well. We don’t see much winter wheat around us any more. Do you think the grain helps them to taste better?

@@SurvivingDuckSeason absolutely. I hunt (not as much as I used or would like to these days) in your neck of the woods. And, from quite a few years experience, in my opinion the grain vs wheat is a huge difference.
