Shooting mergansers is on the same level as shooting coots to me. I know some people do it, but I don't care to. Besides, they apparently taste so bad, the dog spits them out!

Merganzers make a good gumbo. Add in some sardines, and you almost forget the buggers eat fish. :D

Personally, I shoot everyone of the nast creatures that flies through the decoys when I'm hunting public just so the real duck hunters out there don't get the opportunity to kill any mallards. :twisted:

A drake hooded merganser is a beautiful duck and several years ago, I shot one to have mounted. Since then, they have been safe from me, though.

I've never shot one in my life, but the next time I see a hooded he's as good as mounted! :twisted:

I voted yes, because if I see one in full plumage he will be hanging on the wall! Otherwise, I don't shoot em' cause I aint' gonna eat em'

I have killed them because I knew someone that liked them..I don't like the taste of them there for I wont kill no more of them..If I don't like the taste of a species of ducks I will not kill anymore of them ..Never killed a Shoveler killed a few last year mounted one And ate 5..Shovelers are safe around me...I killed a coot to say that I did...If I wont eat it I wont kill it...Thats the way it should be...
