First time I ever heard that gadwalls taste bad. I hunt in Ark for years

[@DSonneborn]

Here in Northern California, the overwhelming majority of our waterfowl are all on a rice diet, I can’t taste a huge difference between all the species. Titus had a guy on his podcast a year or so back that wrote a cook book called Duck Duck Goose, and he noted that the ducks are all going to taste different depending on what their diet consist of. Spoonies have a bad reputation of being a bad tasting duck, but they eat just fine here in Northern California.

[@aaronnaquin2730]

I say bs bc in louisiana we call a gadwall a grey and there one of the best ducks to eat bro I love grey's and teal

[@hokuinsai4299]

I agree Aaron 😋🤙🏾

[@mcnewlane]

Arkansas boy here. I come from a long line of arkansas duck hunters (over 100 years) and i have never once heard a grey called a gut duck.

[@jeffjones5691]

Here in Alabama the gads don’t taste too good because they’re usually on the river eating milfoil. When I had a lease in Arkansas they tasted a whole lot better because their diet was rice and soybeans. But everything tastes better when it’s wrapped in bacon and jalapeños.

[@johnstanfield7406]

Gads taste just fine here in Alabama

[@jdkennedy77]

Loved the taste test 🤣🤣 I’ve never had a problem with gross tasting gads. Granted, cooking over an open fire with no prep is different. That said the Arkansas boys ate em!

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Looks like a fun steady day right there. Loved the taste test!

[@reynoldsoutdoorproductions4561]

The best waterfowl channels on KZbin, all in one video!

[@theealaskanviking5257]

Great video Elliot!

[@adamwhat84]

The duck commander boys swear blue wingd taste like a sewer pond, but here in North Texas I have never experienced such. So maybe the diet theory is true haha. Love both yalls channels 👍

[@chrispolk93]

Need ripples on water. Build yourself a pumper butt or have a dedicated puller on the jerk rig. Cant beat water movement. Hope u guys get some colder weather before the collab. If ducks have been into a shallow water eating minnows they take on a stronger flavor. Its like finishing a cow on corn vs grass

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

We had a motion decoy spreader with 8 decoys and a jerk rig with 3 decoys

[@jeredcizek5017]

Love the videos just killed a two-man limit here opening day but it’s slow down a little bit can’t wait to see more great content

[@HighPrairieSportsmen]

Finally, someone who agrees with me about gaddies! They get a pass unless it's slow. Great video Elliot!

[@jamesonfay8251]

My dad grew up shooting gadwall in NE KS and always swore they are just as good as mallards. Maybe it is just regional.

[@midwesthunterangler7592]

Golden boy that was a good an awesome prank🤣

[@novocainesoul4529]

Man he was right about Elliott freaking out!!🤣😂🤣😂 That was excellent🤙🏻

[@woodduck635]

They day Aden won the internet!

[@dlacy68850]

Cant wait to hunt with you😁🦆keep up the good work. Yall could put an a frame at the end of those reeds and hunt the open water

[@apsavoie]

This upsets me, I’m totally with Aaron naquin, grew up shooting mostly grey ducks in south Louisiana, pluck em and pot roast em I’ll take em anyday, most days over a mallard because they get tender more quickly, all ducks are good to eat, especially all puddle ducks, clean them right and prepare them right, might start shooting more limits instead of passing on “trash” ducks waiting for your precious mallards

[@craigmcfadden6538]

Cant eat waterfowl that fresh, ,if you were to purge the blood out,,itd be far better eating....Im a retired chef,,blood does not taste good. I geuss you can eat it....but youre not giving it ,its best chance. Cheers. Ps, how come youtubers only take other youtubers out? Why not some fan who spends some coin on patreon or something. That would be very special to your fans who got you here.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Agreed, but there are times out hunting that cooking fresh hot duck meat is well worth the effort. It doesn’t taste bad at all in that environment.

[@ChasingGreen]

Awesome day 🤘🏻

[@jaymorrison1286]

Elliot I have thoroughly enjoyed this season especially watching Georgie progress from the episode with the Facebook marketplace pigeons to this hunt she has the drive and desire every dog owner hopes for why anybody who enjoys this sport doesn’t have a retriever is beyond me which brings me to to your good friend at outdoor limits he just said in his latest video I really need to get a dog I commented to him that Chris just posted a litter yesterday at Flatlander very awesome breeding two great parents tell that boy get off his butt and get on the phone before there gone keep em coming great content one awesome dog you got there my friend

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

haha, your comment must be the reason I got a text from him today about the FLK litter!

[@jasonvelasquez6673]

Funny just did the same mallard v gadwall and mallard v blue bill. Honestly mallards do taste better but the others are not far off. Favorite is Can, teal, woodie, mallard

[@greatbasinduckboats3177]

I've never been able to tell much difference between gadwalls and any other puddle duck. I usually dry age my ducks for at least 10-15 days before I eat them, it makes a huge difference in the way they taste! That said fresh duck over an open fire is pretty dang good too. One thing is for sure, I'd rather eat a gadwall than a shoveler or a goldeneye any day!

[@bobbyrayoutdoors5954]

Awesome after all the work lol I finally shot my first duck my first duck was a redhead drake

[@andrewmeysenburg32]

loved it!

[@kjc9293]

Tough hunt....maybe an afternoon/evening hole.

[@mikepenrod6272]

gorgey going to be a good one

[@brandoncorley1514]

Awesome vid!! Elliott being a game hog!! LOL jk

[@matthewserkert4401]

"How" Settin' on a log in a pin-oak flat, Ponderin' 'bout this, wonderin' 'bout that-- Why some ducks decoy--when again they won't-- And why we make good shots--when again we don't. Recallin' ol' times an' royal shoots, Wadin' deep mud with water-filled boots. Yankin' th' yawl 'ginst tide an' sea! Prairie dawns, an' ducks that hold The melt of onyx, beryl an' gold. Bacon, coffee an' buckwheat cakes Make a bellyful of what it takes. Lamplight an' blankets that fetch surcease, Woodsmoke an' dreams with a theme-song "Geese!" A pine squirrel's chirrup an' camp bird's hail To sleepy eyes an' ice on the pail. Yonder's some ducks--better give 'em a hoot With some feedin' talk throw'd in t' boot. I may miss this 'un--he's flying' fast-- But it won't be th' first miss, nor yet th' last. Th' good with the bad, an' th' lean with th' fat, Th' old general average of Life's like that. So draw a clean bead an' shoot on th' wing, There's more to huntin' than killin' a thing! Nash Buckingham, Blood Lines, 1938

[@thisguy4426]

Nonsense, Gaddis and Mallards taste the same. You'd never tell the difference. But (there's always a but) I'm here in Southern Ontario. I know that will make a difference.

[@MRbassmasterman]

👍

[@rodogoutdoors]

Just killed a 5 curl mallard an absolute stud

[@guybaxendale]

Duck taste is hugely dependent on their diet - Wigeon is one of my favorate ducks to eat but they can be filthy from time to time.

[@littlebuckslayer]

We have been beating the hell out of the gadwalls even have a batch of jalapeno duck poppers in oven as we speak

[@internetduck1114]

Nooo my brothers!!!!!
