Last years spoons and blue wings were almost inedible. The year prior, fine.
They fly around. I don’t know what or where they were eating prior to shooting them, but last years bunch was funky.
Green wing, widgeon, wood duck, pintail, mallard, grays are my order of preference

Never had a bad spoonie or ringneck. I have culled some bad rice-breasted spoons though.
I don't think anyone could tell the difference. At least they didn't say anything other than, this is the best duck stew we've ever had.

I don't cull anything now except a coot.

Like many of the younger crowd, there’s not enough ducks to be picky so I’d shoot what came in.
I always heard from old timers that a spoonie killed in the rice fields was fine but not so in the marsh which never made much sense to me. I’ve killed spoonies in the marsh with their crawls full of rice and vegetation just like spoonies in the rice fields fulls of snails and crustaceans.
It just depends what they’re feeding on.

quote:me either. I’ve asked em many times if the ones they shoot can fly. And a bird full of rice today may have been a bird full of crap yesterday. I have no idea how long they gotta eat crap to taste bad, but they sure can.
