Over your limit

[Stilly bay]

makes perfect sense to me.. plus it looks like a drawing of boobs so you can't go wrong there can you?

ethically speaking its a tough one. you didn't kill the duck so technically its death isn't your fault. some would say not to waste the meat some would say the hawks and possums will put the meat to good use.

I would say if you keep the mallard and leave on teal, you are wasting less meat!

Definitely cannot scold the dog.. need more choices in the poll.

OK, I added a couple more choices.

can't be mad at you dog for doing somthing its trained to do. if the dog was kept close and did not wonder around to find the bird you would of just had your limts.

Praise the duck and leave the dog behind.

If at all possible try not to waste the duck. Teal are small ducks 

[Meats]

I teach my dog to eat ducks on command just for cases like this.
What I would do is have my dog carry the teal (smaller meal) to the truck.If I see a warden up ahead I simply give the command "COPS" and my dog will swallow the bird.

Easy as that

You guys haven't been hunting very much public land lately. My dog usually has found half a limit by the time we get to our spot we want to hunt. I don't hunt much on public land for that reason.

The game warden would probably let you keep it given the situation and they wouldn't want you to waste it.  Legally he would also have to site you $150.  I guess you can do the math.  I watched guys sail birds all morning on opening day and not be able to find them.  That's why it pays to have a good dog, so you don't loose those cripples.

buy the dog a license

[KwackWacker]

are u kidding me?......load the gun and go help him find more....I lOVE swattin cripples...and hey you might even get a band or better a eastside harli......

serioulsy man what kinda question is that?

[SequimHunter01]

Never like to see any bird wasted.  If it's a cripple, especially.  May not be "the law", but if it were me, I'd go in to the woods, breast out the bird, put the meat in my bag, and leave.  I just don't think it's right to let something suffer/get wasted, and, for what cause?  Just my $.02.

[h2ofowlr]

It won't get wasted.  The yotes or birds of prey would have it ate up within a few days.

[Black Plague]

leave it for mother nature....or breast it out and feed it to your dog and toss the carcass....
