Took a ride out to the marsh to knock the rust off. Scouted for ducks while I went after these guys. The marsh is rounding into shape for the opener in just over a week. Managed 3 as always with snipe it should have been a few more.
Challenging yes, tasty no. My lab wouldn't even eat one.
Didn't help they were from along the creek where the cattle were grazing and drinking.
I would like to get on mounted for my bird collection though.
Those marsh birds are pretty and I bet taste way better.
wytex they are truly a tasty bird. One of those situations where you wish they were bigger. I posted a picture of a few I roasted a few months ago in the recipe section. Flavor kinda reminds me of the "oyster" muscle on a chicken thigh.
