Went out duck hunting with a guide today with a bunch of guys from my church. We all limted out, and got 3 bluebills, a few buffleheads, a goose, and all the rest were surf scoters. I was told not to eat them. And we bascially chucked them. I doubt I will go back and shoot if you can't eat em. They did smell very fishy when I tried to clean one.
