How has everyones season started off???

[jordano]

Waiting for more northern to show.  The limit of ducks I like to shoot doesn't score very well.  Mallards, I will wait until there are plenty to choose from and I can pick my birds.   

that's just not even fair...

0 birds and two trips out.  My first season on waterfowl, and realized I have a lot to learn aint goona stop me from keep on going out in the am, and dealing with low and  high tides though   Cant wait to post my first birds pics( once I can shoot one)

H2O, your in a whole different league from the rest of us. Top 10%, pro bowler, all star, if we had a name for it in the duck world you'd have right next to the the Duck Commander.....Keep it up.

[chester]

Uhh.... Im at 8 so far. damn i need to get Elk season over with 

[Elliott]

h20fowler, seriously, wouldn't mind hunting with you! never even seen a wood duck, nonetheless shoot a pair in one outing! good on you mate, do you limit ever time you go out?

[snocohunter]

Good to see this year treating you well as always. I wish I could say I was as dedicated as you to waterfowling, but I can't. The three times i've gone out have been successful though. I have scheduled the rest of my time off for the year on Wednesdays to hopefully have less competition at some public land

If people have read your posts, they'll understand that you hunt whenever you have a chance, even if it's in the morning before you have to work, etc. You've obviously scouted and networked in your area to find where the birds want to be and gotten access to those places. Do you still have a lease this year?

 The year has been great so far, not as good as yours though! The whole work before play thing is really putting a damper on my style. But the weather has been good and the birds have been decoying well. 2010 total: 56 ducks and 18 geese. Heres a pic from last weekend, I love those little cacks!

[Whitenuckles]

For all those people who are about to post that geese are closed..... I was in Oregon, so chill!

[mmchukar9]

36 birds so far this year!!

[Dustin07]

the actual duck hunting has been limited so far, just PITA time restraints between deer hunting (LOL), going back to school, etc. But otherwise thigns are going good. picked up a lot of new toys, new marsh rat, new layout blind, new decoys, and have leads on a couple good private land parcels I may be working. Also got the perm blind built up at my old private so things are coming together, albeit slowly.

I myself has killed 108 ducks as of today................tough bird #'s.....I hunt everyday afterschool

[Viszla]

Okay guys, I know you all probably get asked this a lot but what do you do with 100+ birds.  You guys actually eat that much duck?

[h2ofowlr]

I have it made into summer sausage, peperoni, jerky and breakfast sausages typically.  The big northern mallards I shoot I typically will pluck and we cook it in a bag or like a chicken on a beer can in the oven.  It turns out good.  Last night we cut 8 breasts up in chunks and let it soak in a marinade then threw it into the crock pot with various vegies.  Let it slow cook all day.

    slow cooked with potatoes carrots and onions...maybe some beef bullion....mmmm good ....making jerky turns a big pile o meat into a small pile of snack food.
