Can you? Yes. Would I? No
If you shoot a saw bill you have to eat it. Let us know how it was.
I shot one once. Will never do that again.
Actually they aren't bad. If you shoot one, let them soak in Buttermilk over night. BBQ them over medium heat using Hickory chips. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Then throw the Merganser away and eat the Hickory chips!
I shot one and left it my buddies freezer when i left.. about 4 months after the season he called me up to chew me out. He said his dog wouldn't even eat it!
I shot about 8 of those things that kept showing up at the lake at my Parents' house where we duck hunt. They were slaughtering the fish and making a mess. I was carrying one by the feet and a 14in trout fell out of its throat. I will shoot every one of those things that I see but I sure as heck wouldn't eat them.
I was in my blind last sunday and watched one eat dozens of small fish which I presume were salmon. If I had know then what it was and that they are legal I would have saved some salmon.

Im up for trying a bird once
