Nice shot, RH, as usual.

One of my favorite sounds in the world. As a kid, I lived to get 5 or 6 of them freight training in a line through the swamp coming to that little noise. Get them all lined up and give them a barrel of copper coated 6's...

They are awesome little ducks. We see them so much here that we tend to lose our appreciation for them. But I would bet every one of us true duck hunters cut our teeth on woodies. They are the go-to for taking youngsters duck hunting. Their beauty is unmatched in waterfowl too. But again...they are so common here we often lose our "eye" for their beauty.

I’ve got a buddy from Corpus Christi coming here at Thanksgiving, bringing his son and his dad, they want to hunt Wood Ducks and experience a rail hunt at high tide. We often tend to take Wood Ducks for granted, but they are a special bird.

Yep - my first 5-duck limit was October wood ducks during the short-lived early season back in the mid-1980s.Originally Posted by JABIII

GREAT SHOT!
Being born "up North" I was raised on mallards, teal and a copious amount of divers. (10 pt / bird back then) What few wood ducks we had left by the first frost (or snow) in late September so we never shot them. I fell in love with wood ducks when I moved South 34 years ago. They are a unique little duck and I love taking care of nesting boxes and helping to put 'em back in the wild for others to enjoy. (as well as kill and eat!)
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

After being up north the past 5 years and only occasionally seeing a wood duck. I'm pumped to be hunting them again come this fall.

“… duckhunting stands alone as an outdoor discipline. It has a tang and spirit shared by no other sport—a philosophy compounded of sleet, the winnow of unseen wings, and the reeks of marsh mud and wet wool. No other sport has so many theories, legends, casehardened disciples and treasured memories.”
--John Madson, The Mallard, 1960
