My first Woodie

[Netminder01]

I was invited to play hookie Friday and join WWUSpud on a wood duck hunt and what a hunt it was... amazing! The #HoneyHole will forever be a secret but booooooya! (edit: There were 4 of us  )

Nice

nice looking drakes.  I hope you mounted some or have friends who tie flies.  Flank feathers on the drakes are very useful.  I saw drakes here in the late summer but by hunting season they were elsewhere.

I've never seen a pic quite like that...

Congrats!

We're each having a few mounted. Spud already has an idea but I need to do a bit of image searching on ideas.... have any suggestions for a good double mount (drake + hen)?

Looks like a good hunt.  It's been a few years since we were on a good woody hunt.

Fatty drake!

My god man!

Now that is putting the smackdown on those ducks.

Congrats.  Unbelievable.

Congrats on a great hunt!  One of these days I will get a damn wood duck.  Haven't been out duck hunting in quite a while, I need to try to get out this year.

Nice hunt!  Those are great eating birds.  Probably my favorite.  I have a feeling I have a general idea where you were hunting.  Had a wood duck smack down myself a few years back...   All 5 of us got at least one mounted. Tons of fun.  Congrats

That looks like a northern New England inland limit!  Probably 90% of the ducks I shot my first few years hunting before moving west.

One of the best waterfowl hunts I've been on.  At one point I couldn't load my gun fast enough. It was epic.
Great time with great people. 

[jackelope]

Congrats guys. That looks like a good time, and you don't see pictures like that very often.
Solid work.

[trophyhunt]

Never killed a wood duck, on my list of must do's someday! Beautiful bird, nice job guys.

  it's only a secret because we pick up our spent hulls.  Whoever was shooting the 7 shot needs work on their security clearance.

Just curious, not critical in any way.  What do you do with them?  Woodies are about the best eating duck I've had, but I cannot imagine cooking up that many and being able to gut them.  You jerk or sausage them?

[Boss .300 winmag]

Goodness gracious that a lot of woodies! 

Nicely done fellas.

I attempted to make duck tacos but they didn't turn out as I expected. Normally I breast out all my ducks and make chipotle jerky.
