I hunted with a guy who I believe is very trustworthy. He told me to breast them out, soak them in buttermilk, then fry them. Anyone heard of this?

My carving mentor swears by them, his favorite to eat. Never have tried one myself, yet.

I've always heard they are terrible.

I haven't eaten one, but I would think they are like a diver.

Gumbo, delicious

I was told they arent a fish eater, water plants are their main diet. But I suppose depending on where they are and what type plants they're eating would determine the taste.

I'd believe the coonass, and the guy raising the future coonass...

They have freakishly large gizzards as well, and make a mean dirty rice

They actually do taste good. Honestly. All I did was soak the beasts in salt water for a day, drain, soak in Worcester for a day, and fry. Came out great. I'm not passing on those little buggers any more unless there are ducks flying.

And they're right up your alley since they don't often fly.

Don't hate the way I regulate.


And that's only the first bird to get one in the bag. After that I hit em on the wing (or try to)

Just giving you a hard time Goldie.

Would expect it any other way
