I've only seen it in spoonies and I've seen it in literally every one I've ever cleaned. Most recent was rice field in Stuttgart. But I've seen it in marsh and lake too. It's some kind of worm

It's Sarcocystis (a.ka. rice disease) and actually is present in pretty much every duck species. Your experience with spoonies is just anecdotal. Just as likely to find it in mallards.

Experts will tell you that as long as you cook it thoroughly, it is safe to eat. Personally, the "safe" aspect doesn't even make it to my logic process there. That bird won't even get cleaned.

Damn. Ive never seen any with that, and no one i hunt around (huge farm and i know and speak to a number of the hunters regularly) has ever mentioned anything like that. We joke around with people shooting spoonies sometimes, but no one has ever actually had a problem like that that they spoke of. And i dont care if its "safe" if its well cooked, im definitely not cleaning thst duck either.
