Are wigeons bad tablefare?

Looking through the DU cookbook, I noticed there was a recipe that called for "Scaup, Wigeon, or other less-than-tasty duck (or something like that)"

I havent killed TOO many wigeons, but the ones I killed and ate I didnt notice a bad flavor...

I like widgeon

Are you sure you read that right? I would not put Wigeon in the "less-than-tasty duck" category. I put them at the top, they are great tasting duck. I love widgeon.

Cody, you sound like Mike, he will eat anything!

I eat my duck strait up medium rare to rare. teal the best. Wigeon not so good.

do a gumbo- any duck will do

they eat good

I would not put wigeon in the poor tasting category at all. I think they're great.

Taste like duck! 95% of what we shoot goes into burger/ sausage pile.

Tree duck
Spec
Scoter goes in the sear medium rare category. Redwine reduction sauce and c'est bonne.

Take mallard, pintail, wood duck, wigeon, teal, and gadwall. These are the top 6 best tasting ducks I shoot. I put widgion 5th, gaddy 6th.

Seriously?

A DU cookbook that says wigeon are less-than-tasty ducks?

No need to bash DU. Their cookbook says it all. "Chef" DU is probably not even a duck hunter.
