Somehow I talked my girlfriend into duck hunting this morning instead of shopping. She's been out with me a few times, but unable to connect until today. 15 minutes into our hunt a trio of Greenheads came in hot. I shot 1 before they crossed in front of her and she dropped 1 as well. Her First Bird. and first kill of anything for that matter. We each got 1 more before calling it a morning.

One of my Birds had a very Orange Bill. I can't remember ever seeing one that clean and Orange. Anyone Else?

Thanks, I've shot quite a few Mallards over the years but can't remember an orange billed drake, Or maybe I just haven't noticed until now............ :dunno:

Great job

Hey skybuster, that's very interesting. I have never seen that on a drake mallard before. Do you have pictures of the breast of that bird. Also is there anything else different about it? Thanks in advance. John

I've got a few with all blue bills like the orange but just blue. No other different markings other than the bill. Cool nird

Hi John,
Unfortunately I didn't take any other pictures of the bird. I didn't notice anything different other than the bill. The ducks were "processed" by a first timer while I instructed (and drank beer) so they got pretty mutilated as well. It wasn't till afterword when I started to think the Orange bill might be rare. Too late as it is Meat in the Freezer now.

Did you just call me a nird? Or was it that autocorrect thing that makes you write things you don't Nintendo.

It looked like the white collar was small or not showing in the pic.
