Hahahaha, better becareful with that kind of talk there are a ton of Water Fowl Police here that jump all over folks for asking simple questions like that. Seems they forgot that they too were beginners at one time, but now they are "EXPERTS to the Ninth Power".

Nice looking birds, hope all had a wonderful time.

It's ok, there are at least 50 of them in my barn.

I got a picture of two nice, er... drakes.. right up in your area 2 weeks ago. I thought about going back for them after the opener but decided I didn't want to fight the circus.

Good shoot.  I know that it can be difficult decoying ducks when you have guys walking around in hunter orange.   :chuckle:
Cut em!

They are almost all released birds on this side.  They shoot by the limit not the sex on the pheasant.

I got one of those one morning after the pheasant season was over.

 It flew off the dike at smith farms, over the bay and joined 2 mallrds comin in off the water. I just happen to turn around after pouring coffee and seen "3" ducks coming in and knocked 2 of them down. It was a headon shot, it was the first to get hit. I was shocked when I picked it up.

Showed it to the gamie, she said, oops, hope it tastes good.
