I would go with Gadwall on 2, and 3 is definitely a Ringneck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Dead-1 Dead-2 Dead-3 sorry..they all eat good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I agree. Not real sure about #3. Don't get them around here much. Hope you didn't eat #1, lol. Mergansers are "fish birds." Kind of yucky tasting from what I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Mergansers are what we call a "fish" duck..not the best eating if you care to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Spot on.. First is the Hooded Merganser. They are a fish duck (with small teeth). They use a lot of the Midwest as winter breeding grounds. They are thick in Oklahoma. Meat is dark and very fishy. The second is a Gadwall (laying in with Mallard). And the third is a Ringneck. This is actually the first Ringnecks ive ever shot. Three came in, I folded all three. This is fun, someone post more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 some fun shooting right there. Merganser has it's own limit so doesn't count toward your 6 ducks. good shooting. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
