Can you eat mergansers

With sharp knife, split duck down the belly. Splay it on a well soaked hardwood plank. Nail it good and wire it securely. Place upright on plank in front of hot coals on outdoor fireplace. Cook well for about two hours. When done, throw that fishy duck away, and eat the plank!!!

Some people have a hard time eating cute animals, but the opossum seems to suffer—or benefit from—the opposite fate.

Although 'possum is traditional rural Southern fare that many claim is good eating some describe it as tasting like a cross between rabbit and wild fowl , I have to believe its ugly, ratlike mug is the reason it doesn't have the culinary cachet of venison or other wild game.

As for groundhogs aka woodchucks , I'd put them squarely in the too-cute-to-eat category. But a copy of The L. The meat of a young woodchuck is as delicious as squirrel.

Mix with green onions, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, one beaten egg, and Cajun seasoning. Pan-fry in shallow oil. Bring back the long-lost Southern staple. Season one cleaned opossum with salt and pepper; dust lightly with flour. Drain the water and arrange split sweet potatoes around the opossum. Sprinkle the opossum with a tablespoon of sugar, cover with 6 bacon slices, and cook another 30 minutes.

Do you welcome grueling tasks? Can you suffer pain without whining? Do you get the job done in the end? The notably large outbreak has killed over 2, whitetails throughout the state.

Jan 1, 7. Jan 1, 8. I just finished eating a ruddy and a canvasback, excellent. I tried cooking a merganser once because I said if I shoot it I'm eating it.

About the time that thing started to cook a little and the aroma of grilled merg got to my nose I had to flip those breasts off the grill to the dog that retrieved it for me. Oh, she was more than happy to eat it. I just could not bring myself to eat that thing. Smelled like rotten fish cooking, whew!!!!! Tidewater , Jan 1, Jan 1, 9.

We were in Arkanasas last week and shot several speckle bellies. I was surprised when the guides went on and on about how good they were. They call them flying filet migion.
