Kill more coots
« on: August 09, 2016, 11:39:05 AM »

I kill a handful a year but I guess I need to start targeting them. I eat them and they taste fine if prepared right. I jurist do mine like any duck.

There aren't many where I hunt but I've thrown the occasional coot in the pepperoni mix without noticing a difference.

Go try to nab a limit, mich harder then it seems jt would be. They don't eat bad, I soak em a day longer then mallars, and use them in duck chili or curry. Something that has a lot of spices, I think they are the best for that.

They should classify them the same as a starling.

That would increase the "harvest"  :twocents:

I guess I will start shooting and learning to cook them.  I shared that link with some friends.

Scott Leyseth had a show called "Dead Meat" where he would hunt and then cook some of the things we wouldn't really eat. Stuff like Nutria and Coot. As I remember, everyone he served it to liked it.

I've heard the key to a good tasting coot is make sure all the fat is removed.

I always run across a gigantic flock of them on the water when I go fishing. probably close to 100 in the flock on the water... it'd be easy easy pickings.
