My son ground one up and made Hoodie jerky. He laughed so hard there were tears in his eyes when I took a bite. Basically smoked, fishy, blood - cool!

If you've had gumbo in South Louisiana in a lot of places you've eaten merganser mixed in. It has a strong taste of fish to it.

Our bluebills are Lesser Scaup. In Texas, you'd have Greater Scaup, which I've never eaten (or seen during hunting season).

I think we have the lesser scaup too. We call them ringnecks. They have a faint thin ring around their necks and the Bluebills have a faint light colored band across their bills. I don't know what the regs are this year, as I haven't been yet but for some number of years we can only take 2 Bluebills per day.

That would indeed be a Ringneck duck. Lesser Scaup are smaller than the Greater, look dirty (more gray) on the sides, and have a bit of a peak to their heads. Not as round as a greater. Actually, the head shape is a lot like the Ringneck.
