Title: Waterfowl Comp Week 3 Oct 25th-October 31st
Post by: SilkWWU on October 27, 2008, 10:06:24 AM

Ok guys, sorry I was deer hunting all last week on Saturday.  I did go out on Wednesday and shot three ducks, but cleaned them before I could access a camera.  So I have no picture proof.  Anyways, I'll need someone to post Week 4/5 thread since I'll be at Elk Camp!

we hunted together on saturday and got 1 drake mallard and 1 hen mallard =7 points
Sunday hunted by myself and shot 2 drakes=2 points.

when i say hunted by myself i really mean that i hunted with the loudest, most hyperactive child on the planet instead of my hunting partner. I think there should be 100 bonus points given for shooting any duck while hunting with my kid. :chuckle:

An "experienced " ducker like Silky will be needed to ID that bird.  ;)

Never mind the widgeon ID looked her up.

Gadwall hen, she had a bright white breast and black flanks on the wing primaries.
