Them damn fish eaters need to be thinned out, but I think they are protected.

Unlike all the other Flyways, the Pacific Flyway includes Mergansers in the regular duck limit. The other flyways have a separate 5 Merganser limit to include only two Hooded Mergansers. So in the Pacific Flyway you can shoot a total of 7 a day (your current duck limit) of any of the three species we have here, Hooded, Common or Redbreasted.

For your information they don't taste like crap, they are a rather sporting bird, they decoy well most of the time and the Commons are huge.

 I shot a common a couple years ago. I grabbed by the neck and hurt. I cut it open and it had eaten a yellow belly bullhead and it was the barbs sticking out the neck. I did that thing a favor shooting it. Everything I shoot gets eaten. I never said by me.
