Well I haven't hunted ducks or geese for 17 yrs, damn that's a long time lol. I moved to the Tri-Cities in September, and was finally talked back into the game! I went out last Sunday morning with a buddy that I met over here (off of this site by the way). It was a SLOW day birds wise, but man was it TOTALLY worth it. We didn't get many birds, but one of the ducks that I did shoot just happened to be a Red Breasted Merganser :yike: !!!!! Not a complete shocker if I was back on the wetside hunting along the coast, but in the Tri-Cities???? Needless to say he is at the Taxidermist :IBCOOL: I thought the Taxidermist was going to blow a gasket, as this is apparently his "holy grail" duck. I am glad I was finally talked into going out again, it was a lot of fun, and definately something that doesn't happen around here to often I'm told. Too bad the damn season is over on Monday :'(

Right on! I've only seen red breasted mergs on the coast once. Normally we see the big common mergansers if we see any.
