I am not a fan of duck or goose, but my son makes goose jerky and it is really good.I do wonder about the jerky idea for them though. I think that would actually work.

They make super jerky!!!!!I do wonder about the jerky idea for them though. I think that would actually work.
I hear different opinions.
I've always heard mergansers and shovelers taste terrible, but 2 of the guys I hunt with say they can't tell a noticeable difference in any of the ducks. Maybe it's the way they cook them. I don't really care for any of them.I killed this pair and cooked them up same night. I thought they were tasty. I took care to get every shred of fat off the breasts first, then brined. Seemed like any other duck to me (except woodies).
That just means you talked to people in North Dakota that like to kill geese for Instagram pictures and that's it.Here's how the locals in North Dakota told us how to cook them:
Soak the breast in brine water for several hours in the fridge. Take the breast and put it on a pine board and liberally season with salt and pepper. Take some cooking string and wrap around the board/meat and use your favorite cooking oil to soak the string. Bake at low heat for like two hours. When done, take and cut the string and throw that away along with the meat and eat the pine board.
They don't eat waterfowl in North Dakota if they don't HAVE to. At least the ones I've known don't.
Um, no. These are the people that have lived their whole lives there, friends and family, and farmed that ground since the settlement days. They are not exactly the type that mind getting their fingernails dirty by cleaning an animal.That just means you talked to people in North Dakota that like to kill geese for Instagram pictures and that's it.
Usually those types use the, "they taste nasty" excuse because they don't want to dirty up their fingernails by cleaning an animal.
