Here's my experience...they taste like they smell...wich can be better or worse depending on where they been hanging out. If I go hunting and all I see are spoonies, you can bet, atleast a couple are gona get shot. Gumbo or sausage for the inlaws is perfect for em

I always see spoonies tryin' to keep up with teal...its tough to lay off the bigger bird at sunrise. Depends on where your seein' em brotha. If they are in a flooded feild you should see other dux. If your seein' em on a recycle or catfish pond, your only gona see spoonies and the dreaded ruddy duck, and, they will taste like poop. Id thin the heard regardless

Yeah, but they sure do work real good! I hunted in a place a few times this year that was wrapped up with shovelers. I felt like the duck commander when they came around
