Hit 103 birds for the season, so good weather and all it's been a decent start. I am just hoping for some snow now.
-

-

H2 is that 103 for your group or 103 for you. If your at 103 for yourself than I would like to get your autograph cause your my new idol!!!!!
We have 46 geese and a few mallards for the season. Pretty good for us but you are definitely kicking some feathery azz.
-
I don’t keep count but my duck & geese numbers are way down from last season. I’ve been spending more time this year on pheasants, quail and chukars. Got my first geese of the year Weds. Could have had a limit but I passed on several iffy colored lessers; too worried about downing a dusky. I’m still working on I.D.ing the 7 subspecies Canada geese but I’m getting better at it.
-
Bad season so far only went out once,(terrell) got two. I work nights and can't get off work early enough to get a good spot :bash: :bash:. I had a vacation week 3rd week of october the weather was'nt good for duck's. Tried to go to Johnson farm this morning after work but it was packed, as was welks, then I looked at Lervig farm for snows but that seems like standing in a firing line. I'll check spencer Is. this evening. Does anyone have any suggestions for a evening hunt or is that a :bdid:?

For myself so far. And it 110 today. For myself.

h2ofowlr is a waterfowl machine :chuckle: haven't seen any scores opo up yet ;)
-
Waiting for more northerns 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. :tup:
Today's limit only would have scored 18 points, 3 Mallard D., 2 Wigeon Drakes and a Wood Duck drake and hen. I know I can do better than that.

that's just not even fair... :chuckle: :chuckle:

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 :IBCOOL: 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.
-
dang that is a pretty mix right there. :drool: some good looking birds h2o
-
Uhh.... Im at 8 so far. damn i need to get Elk season over with :bash:
-
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?
-
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! :drool: 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!

For all those people who are about to post that geese are closed..... I was in Oregon, so chill!
-
36 birds so far this year!!
-
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
-
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? :yike:
-
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.
-
:yeah: 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. :twocents:
-
another limit tnite puts me at 115 for the season so far.....
as for what do I do with all the meat?....I and family eat the nice mallards and teal (marinated and cooked on grill) as well as at least 1 leg from every duck. The rest goes to a couple of local food banks/ missions where it is highly appreciated......last year I killed 301 ducks and 15 geese.....not an ounce of it went to waste...and non ever will

Kwak you need to spend a little more time in english class and less time in Satus! "I and family beat chest and eat meat meat is good". I enjoy pictures and stories of great hunts but number counts are for ego strokes and attracting groupies!! Honestly wouldnt everyone just want to see pictures and hear stories instead of.....
Today I hit 110..........
Today I hit 120.....
Today I hit 160....
Today I am awesome!
I will give my answer to the original post......
The season has started out great!! I have enjoyed every falling duck and all of the great dog work. I have shared the blind with friends and family on almost every trip! I day dream about my next outing every day while at work!
-
Today I hit...

:spank_butt:

You have to speak his language if you want to be his groupie! "I and family needs to get the benellis hot so we can cook some duuuck"

hey drk chill out.. I'm pretty sure that the original question asked was about peoples numbers of birds they have shot so far this year. so he was just answering to the original post. so if you don't like hearing about it, why did you even comment in this thread? :bash:
-

I think he must have some kind of inferiority complex. Belittling and ridiculing others somehow makes him feel better about himself in some twisted way. Comments like his ruin what otherwise is a fun discussion by everyone.

its just if you don't like it you don't have to burst everyone else's bubble... we are just curious to see where people are at! just let it be, each to their own!
-
If you look at the original post the thread starter posts how many birds he had killed so far in the season....so thats wat I posted 8)....plus I know by posting up bird numbers guys get butthurt...In other words I like to stir the pot :chuckle:
-
and its all part of the sport, in big game hunting, hunters can brag about how big of a rack the dear has or whatever it happens to be, but in waterfowl hunting, unlike other types of hunting, you can shoot a crapton of birds through out the season, and except for the different types of ducks, most dont vary too much in size, so we brag about how many we shoot, not how big the 1 animal we can shoot is.

Just like Mallardman; I haven't gone out yet this year. I was able to scrape together enough funds to get my license & stamps and had the company buy shells (since I'm taking a client hunting) :rolleyes:
Sunday will be my first hunt. Going for Sea Ducks for the first time ever. Hope to have a good report to post up next week. The weather is looking awesome. 8)
Good luck to all. :hunt2:

On the good note, we got 6 mallards (only 4 in pic), a widgeon & a gadwall. :)
-
I just want to come out and say it because no one else will....... H2O, I don't think I like you, You shoot more birds than me, you shoot the gun I want (SBE II) and I am jealous. Therefore I don't like you :chuckle: Good job on the year. And if you ever get lonely and need some company in the duck blind you know where to find me. :chuckle:
