Title: Kind of a weird one???
Post by: Seaslave on January 06, 2009, 09:05:14 PM: Went hunting with two of my buddies today in Ferndale. Had a small flock of wigeon fly by and I whacked this one out of the flock. I've shot alot of wigeon, but never a Eurasian Wigeon. Pretty neat. I might have this one stuffed.
