Gave it a try...hopeless. First 2 sticks i ate seemed ok....then the rancid fish taste hit me like a train. Dear goddd.
we shoot these things all the time down here. They swoop in fast and look like woodies so it's hard to not to.
in case anyone else had the idea...dont waste your time lol

i have tried grilling, smoking, and now jerky. It's hopeless bro.
I don;t know what else to try. I hate the idea of just throwing them away. Maybe ill make jerky dog treats out of them lol

I use tank turds and other non-tasty ducks to feed my family. Oh and by the way, I consider my dogs family.

Mergansers aren't ducks and they definitely don't taste like duck.

I just cut em into strips and smoke em, then use them for dog treats. Gotta be careful not to over do it though bc they tend to induce the runs...

What ever possessed you to make jerky out of a merganserd? I mean you can make jerky out of a skunk but that does not in any way shape or form imply it is a good idea.
