I just read up on them. They are not pleasant to eat. There are hundreds of them where I hunt waterfowl. Use as bait for bears in the fall is an interesting idea.

Probably worse then mergansers. I would think inedible.....better used for a coyote/bear bait pile

lol..... at my family cabin when I first started hunting, I shot a merganser.... I was very proud of myself until dad saw it and I saw the look on his face.......

I tried some half arse soup recipe to make it taste good..... no dice..... but I ate it anyways, because that is how I was brought up, you kill it you eat it.....

I don't shoot mergansers anymore.....
 
I remember years ago sitting in the Pelee Island Hotel eating lunch and watching thousands of cormorants fly by out over Lake Erie. There was none in the southern Georgian Bay area then where I lived at the time. Long over due the law being changed to shoot them on sight.

Mergansers and White Winged Scooters are great for spaghetti sauce. We called them "Spaghetti Sauce" ducks. We would just breast them out.
