Charlie Jagow faces a conundrum on this week’s The Last Alaskans — whether or not he’s hungry enough to eat ducks that tastes like fish!
It’s a case of to shoot or not to shot when he spots the mergansers — diving ducks — while out looking for food with winter fast approaching.
But he says while he would shoot them if he was “starving”, he’s going to give them a miss this time.
Watch the footage from the episode below as spots the birds and says: “Oh look. There’s some ducks right there. Unfortunately, they’re mergansers. Diving ducks.
“Wouldn’t taste very good. Because they eat a lot of fish, they taste like a fish. I’m not going to shoot them. If I was starving I would shoot them.”
