    Default What four Ducks?

    Which four ducks would you pick to judge/assess the health and habitat of the Atlantic Flyway and why?

    “Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965

    I intentionally vote bullshit just to fuck up your poll worse than a CNN election poll
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    I don't believe the wood duck is a good indicator of "flyway ducks".

    Interesting choice of duck species. Quite a few have no bearing on the Atlantic Flyway. Two, can’t be hunted in any Flyway, and two Atlantic Flyway species of ducks aren’t even on this list.

    I believe you don't have a clue then. I killed one banded in Ontario and know of two others that were Banded in NY and killed 40 miles from the Florida boarder.

    i was gonna question the wood duck statement, too, Griffin.

    Too many people think our wood ducks are local.

    I havent looked or voted, otherwise. I just read Bear's post and giggled, though.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Most of our woodies come from states north of us.
    Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

    We've killed 5 banded wood ducks south of Savannah in the past 6 years. Banded in SC,NC, VA, KY, and MI. I would say they get around a good bit.

    I added some species to see who would actually put out honest answers and who would pull a Griffin........

    Congratulations on the band Griffin.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    I have 5 wood duck bands. Ontario, Pennsylvania, New York, Tennessee and North Carolina. All killed in lowcountry SC on the same farm. If I remember correctly, the Pennsylvania bird was 6yrs old.

    Ive killed a wood duck from Ontario also . We killed one this year in January that was banded in September in Vermont.
    If it aint got 8 toes & a green head,it aint a duck.

    I've killed 3 that were banded in Ontario and know of several more banded in NY and Maryland. I don't know why people assume our wood ducks are always locals.
