Re: ducks of the year...

Good idea for a thread. Our seasons doesnt open for another week.

 

Re: ducks of the year...

great Idea! hopefully I will have some Pics Saturday when our season opens.

 

Re: ducks of the year...

Regular Opener is this Saturday, but here's a pic of a 3 man limit during early Teal season. I'm on the right.

 

Re: ducks of the year...

These are the results from a recent hunt in Canada. We did this well every day of the 6 day hunt. This group took us 90 minutes to harvest. We also got Sand Hill Cranes, Sharp Tail and Hun's. It sure was a blast.

 

Re: ducks of the year...

Here's my 12 yr old son and I after working for this one. Solid pinfeathers but, I think it's the largest honker I ever shot. I'm 6'1". I wish I had weighed it. :-\

 

Re: ducks of the year...

Here's my 12 yr old and 9 yr old after last Sunday's successful hunt. We don't really know who shot what on most of them. There's a Black Duck in there somewhere, along with another honker, a GWT, and two Mallards. All good eaters. Pinfeather city on every one of them. Off to SD in two weeks. Should be better feathers then, at least on the puddle ducks.

 

Re: ducks of the year...

they stayed around for the WA opener today limited out with the first flock of the morning.

Re: ducks of the year...

beautiful Specks. Love those things. Just 2 of us headed out for the Nebraska opener. We were 2 birds short of our limit, but had to get going to get back. 8 Teal, 1 Pintail, 1 Shoveler.

Re: ducks of the year...

Jordanlybeck - Glad to see you got into those Specks! Good looking adult birds too.
Skip - That is too much fun there! Did you get into any with full plumage? What a hunting trip!
My brother and I got into limits of ducks and a couple geese while fighting freezing winds and an alkali dust storm from hell on our statewide opening day...

 

Re: ducks of the year...

Dang Patrick, nice show. No drake spoonies though???

 

Re: ducks of the year...

Ha ha. No Jeremy... not yet. We were only after brown spoonies. lol. I really do love those late season spoony drakes though!

 

Re: ducks of the year...

Re: ducks of the year...

nice mixed bag! 8)

 

Re: ducks of the year...

Thanks. RDA we get enough of them here locally to satisfy me... ha ha. Somedays it seems like that's all there is to shoot. They really don't get the credit they deserve. I love a nice "Smiling Mallard." I actually have a nice pair of them, shot in late January in SoCal, mounted in a glass case. They were done by Stefan Savides several years ago. I'm very proud of that trophy display honestly.
