a duck that has a puncture wound from a hawk?

This is the second time a hawk got one of my ducks! I found it right after it happened.

Well, I bleed it and plucked it but I found a puncture wound.

Would you eat it?

It is going to be thoroughly cooked. But I don't have any experience with that kind of stuff.

You could cut around like puncture mark. I would try to hack off a chunk if I could cause I am one of those----what could have been on that talon? that could kill the family type person lol

then I would cook it good and eat it up

Yes, with the wound cut away. BUT if it was an old or healing would no. Don't eat an animal with an active infection.

Another vote for "certainly yes, just trim the site as needed, and of course don't eat an animal with an *older* (infected) wound"
