Got him on the Chehalis.  Unfortunately, I was not the trigger puller.  A buddy dropped a couple of GW's and while picking them up, a "drake woody" took off behind us, I swung on it and chose not to shoot since my buddy had never gotten a woodie (duck that is) and I figured it would just fly downriver a little ways.  We floated down to where I saw it go in, it jumped just as I realized what it was, he missed first shot, I was starting to pull the trigger and he got his second shot off and got it, dang!  The guy never even kicked in for gas money that day!   :yike:  I think it is still in his freezer as well about 8 years later.....

Wow, sounds like you came close.  Still in the freezer after 8 years.  What a waste of a trophy duck!  I sure hope he has it wrapped really good.  Thanks for sharing the story.  John

i've heard of mandarins down in the greys harbor area, but i'm sure they must be wilds that escaped.

Drake wood duck, by far the coolest looking duck out there.

They are all over the state. I have a few buddies that have shot them.

Probably a Wood Duck, Pintail, Eider, or Mallard Drake.  I just started duck hunting last year.  Shot plenty of Buffleheads, Ringnecks, a ugly as sin sea duck, and one hen pintail, but I have yet to get any of the above mentioned drakes.

One opener we shot 18 woodducks for 4 guys hunting in southeast washington off the river.  I have seen woodies down there clear into January.  There is also some good spots on public land in the Duvall and Ferndale areas that hold woodducks early in the season.

Where are you hunting at?  I wouldn't mind taking you out this next season and get you at least your Pintail and Mallard Drake I will even through in a widgeon as well.

I've only hunted lake Terrell one time it was early season last year, I guess I should rephrase that I went bird watching on Lake Terrell one time.  Don't think I will ever go back.  :bash:

Mature drake:
Canvasback
Pintail
It was one of the reasons I started hunting about 10 years ago. Canvasback. In 10 years I have only seen a couple.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.
