Mudstomping a spoonie?

I would guess that would be a reenactment of teal season but that's a full plumed spoonie so it's kind of a waste. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

Should have more heel action.....

I find it in poor taste. I know the spoony gets a bad rep, but as hunters, not just duck hunters but any kind of hunter, we should be respectful of the wild game we take to fill our freezers and consume for our own benefit.

Send all your spoonies to duckbill.

not much benefit when it taste like a sardines cooch

I disagree. I think a spoonbill taste just as good as any other duck. The only ducks I have found that I absolutely cannot eat are ringnecks, scaup, and redheads. They are hard as hell to clean and even harder to chew.

X2!

I bet a lot of the Shoveler blasters on here have never even eaten one. They've just been brainwashed by the snobs!

Does this mean that you have eaten a sardines cooch? Kind of weird...

Spoonbills A.K.A. "Greater Texas Bluewing"

I like that! I will shoot Spoons all day long. I'm not prejudice!

yes, what about it?

Same argument I hear when my wife buys those nasty packaged bacon wrapped fillets from albertsons dog food...

If you eat sardine cooch, then why pass on the spoonie? lol. This thread is funny!

I'm just razzing you! To each his own. I just personally have never noticed a major difference in the taste of a shoveler from lets say, a gadwall or wigeon... They all taste very simialar. Scaup is a whole other ballgame, nasty poop taste, yet they don't have the reputation of the shoveler. I just don't get it...

I like it

and you?

High heels would have been better

Not to mention he'd be barefooted or wearing sandals.

It was a reenactment of the "special march teal season". It only happens in two counties in Southeast Texas and you can only shoot them with a 22 or 22 mag.

John, you goin to safari club?

Pretty disrespectful to a beautifully plumed bird. Anti hunters would loooooooove to use this picture as fodder to further their agenda, and honestly who could blame them. Even as a sportsman, who gets the joke, I don't think its funny. If you can't identify on the wing well enough to not harvest the birds you won't eat, then you have no business putting your gun to your shoulder. Ringers, bluebills and other "less desireable" tablefare go to the sausage pile where, after adding the right amount of pork fat, spices, and smoke, people rave about them.
