I caught one on a rod and reel once- fishing at the navy yard during Christmas shut down- caught on a fake shrimp body on a jig head- crazy fight on 20 lb spinning gear
They let military members hunt those ponds and I seent a few out there whilst duck hunting. Seems like I'll bumping into them more often in the Midlands too. Had one swim up on me in the swamp last Saturday and they're in my in law's beaver swamp as well.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

We have been picking duck bands out of otter shit in our blinds for nigh on 40 years...
Nice shot RH.
Not sure about some of the others you mention, but a badger is a stankin sob. Hit one in the truck while deer hunting in Kansas several years ago and just HAD to check it out. Stinkinest thing I've ever touched. The upside was that it made a hell of a cover scent that afternoon.
Cool pictures. Years ago while in a deer stand I witnessed two otters work down Rabon creek with a grey heron in tow. The heron would stand at pool side as the otters worked cut banks and pick off fish that were driven out. I watched that heron catch, walk to sand bars to reorient head first and eat 3 10-12" catfish. The otters would occasionally disappear into muddied water and reappear 20 yards up or downstream. The heron would then immediately run and fly to catch back up. I've run up on them turkey hunting more often than anything and they seem to be very curious creatures, far from spooky.

Cool shots
This is the culprit behind 90% of black panther sightings. They look crazy crossing a road.
Last Saturday, two on the ice. Couldn't get closer for a better shot.

Guess it's just coincidence or luck but I saw two more in the creek below the house yesterday morning working cut banks as I was wading across. Fumbled the camera out and got a couple pictures but were blurry, low light.

I had one barking at me from some willows during the freeze. I was jump shooting and surprised him when I drifted by. I reckon we were both hunting ducks.
