 Thats a lotta ducks!
 HOWS YOUR HEARING?
 Hows your cholesterol?
 Where the heck is your dog?
 Do you now have a big bump on the finger bone that sets just behind the trigger guard? Mine took about a year to go down a few years ago. I even filed down the rear of my triggerguard to paper thin to gain some more space.
 The photos look nice. Glad to see everyone with happy, content smiles. :)
 Congratulations.

The constant ringing in my ears is slowly retreating, I imagine it will never be the same though lol
Idk bout the cholesterol but celebration mcgridles were not uncommon  :chuckle: although it seemed as if I put as many miles on in my boots as in my truck :o so Im prolly good.
As for the dog, "otter" is right here guess I should have included her in the previous post

Start wearing the hearing protection.  I didn't wear them at your age.  In H.S. I would typically only miss a few days out of the season during waterfowl season.  I was at it everyday.  I could walk, drive or ride my bike to all my hunting spots.  They were close to my house.  Lots of shells were shot.  I know have permanent ringing in my left ear.  It doesn't go away.  24/7.  It sucks.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

Lol dude are you serious? your gonna flip him *censored* for shooting hens, Im pretty sure he has never talked down about someone for shooting hens because there isn't anything wrong with it, as long as you are following the regs you wont be hunting the populations.

If its brown its down...most of the time, depends on the day :chuckle:

Maybe you should visit the refuge and check out his posts there. I don't see anything wrong with shooting a few hen mallards, I do it myself. However, if you're going to shoot 488 ducks in a season, I would think that one might give a little thought to conserving the resource, especially when there is a restricted limit on them. I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned the term 'game hog' here. I guess it shows what the mentality is of the guys that frequent this site is. Let's face it, he's young and if 'pops' isn't going to teach him ethics, it has to come from somewhere else.

I don't see what your getting at, he hunts a lot of days during the season, and has places to consistatly kill limits of ducks. Wouldn't you do the same? I understand the hen thing, but what difference does it make if he shoots them, or you or I do?

HOLY SH$T!!! man are you kidding me???.....you are going to call me a game hog just because I love the sport of waterfowling and Im taking advantage of my situation of being young and close to prime hunting grounds (hunting everyday).....you really must be jealous....my "pops" has taught me well as you can see in the above pics in fact he is proudly standing right next to me after mornings of memorable hunts. Not sure what your deal is man, I hunt nearly everyday of the season and have became fairly successful at it, I shoot my limit, no birds are wasted, everything is legal, where does bad ethics come in?

How dare you, #1 call me a game hog , #2 dis my father by stating that he never taught me ethics, and #3 tell me that I'm un-ethical...

Get a life man... :rolleyes:

Great season KW!  I used to do the same thing when I was younger growing up in the Palouse.   We used to keep a dry erase on the refrigerator and tally the annual take.  It would get a little scary sometimes!  :chuckle:
 
Take advantage of the opportunity while you can.  Thanks for sharing the pics!

Successful season yes! But what the heck is a person going to do with 480 ducks? 50 ducks is all I can deal with for a year. I used to have a lot of time to hunt ducks too but would always stop when I thought I had enough for the year.
