This is weird!
Found this in a hoodie I killed today. Whoever it was was shooting a good group.

Wow, how do you cook hoodies? I have a couple in the freezer I need to cook.

I cut the breast into 3/4"-1"chunks and soak in moores marinade for about 5 minutes, wrap in bacon, stick em on a skewer and throw on the grill with some tony chacheres

That is weird, that's pretty good shooting for a pellet gun. I never have been able to cook a merganser that tasted good.

Re: This is weird!
Weird how the pellets didn't even flatten or deform one bit. Side note- who shoots flat pellets anymore? My boys shoot pointed or hollow points

Re: This is weird!
Your right, now that I think about it, when my son was using pellets hell we bought some that were ballistic tip! A flat nosed pellet would have been a last resort to shoot back in the day... ten years ago. Lol.Dkhargroves wrote:Weird how the pellets didn't even flatten or deform one bit.

They are deformed a little. I'm not sure how long hooded mergansers live but most banded duck world records are around 20 to 30 years old and that's the ones that the numbers were still visible on, so the pellets may not be really recent. He could have carried them around for quite some time.Dkhargroves wrote:Weird how the pellets didn't even flatten or deform one bit. Side note- who shoots flat pellets anymore?

That's one thing that makes waterfowl hunting so neat. There is no telling where that duck came from or where or when it got shot with those pellets. It's a true mystery.

Believe it or not I mounted a deer a few year ago that had 2 pellets in his cheek.

I know they are slightly deformed but I'm meaning they aren't really deformed much given the penetration. WeirdTfd1224 wrote:They are deformed a little.

That's true, that's one of the awesome things about it for me. Wondering where each duck came from and how many times it's made the trip. Google says that the oldest recorded hoodie was 14.6 years old. I'm not sure how often hoodies are banded though.bobwhite wrote:That's one thing that makes waterfowl hunting so neat.

Re: This is weird!
I doubt they went all the way through the bird. From what I could see, they just got lodged in the skin.Dkhargroves wrote:I know they are slightly deformed but I'm meaning they aren't really deformed much given the penetration.
