DU bashing on DU app

Y'all need to get out more. All the ducks are in Kingstree. I saw them cross the road right before dark yesterday. Over a hundred mallards.

I bet Billy Burg knows about these. He's always getting the green.


Right where the cursor is.....flying from south to north across the highway.

Unless you want to start considering ringneck shooting duck hunting you chose wisely...

Before the ringneck aficionados get their panties in a wad, shooting them is fun. So is dove hunting which is essentially the same thing only add water and about $20k for your spot...

[Highstrung]

Doves taste better.. plus you get to shoot more, legally

Plenty of ducks get killed around here. Plenty. They come and go. South Carolina is a wintering state. Cold weather here for a couple days straight pushes our birds out. Like right now we had those days of cold weather early this week and a lot of ducks moved on and didn’t get replaced. At least on the coast. But like normal they will come again.

The "resource" doesn't care. I personally believe it is inevitable anyway as the planet continues to warm. Human nature is to hoard. You are not stopping that...

truth and wisdom here.

I don't always agree with the logic of money = ducks, but it certainly increases the probability of a gunning encounter with them. Regulations or the lack there of wont "fix" the problem either. Ducks are gonna do what ducks do and weather's gonna do what it does. As for hunting anything other than woodies in SC, I do wish they got here a little sooner than Feb-March

They need to move our season back a month or so

Facts! 5 degree wind chill had the pit we was hunting last January froze solid. My buddy’s cousin turned on the pump and we had open water within an hour!

The ducks you shoot here I can’t believe you go anywhere else

My buddy’s cousin has unlimited access on some good land above reelfoot lake. I can’t resist a chance to kill some green heads!

Are you sure that mud hole wasn't baited? Was it being hunted? Just a thought.

No bait in the mud hole and no it’s not being hunted. There’s been no pressure from us either.

[DuvnDux]

His spot was ate out.

Not even close.

[wskinner]

I quit giving a shit about ducks (other than your woody shoot) in SC about 3 years ago.. its nice.

This. Y’all want ducks to shoot...invest your money in increasing the wood duck population. All the money you’ll save will pay for a nice OOS trip.

[Duckman#1]

I shoot ducks a DU projects every year. No complaints. You want ducks then wait till Minneapolis down around zero

[GMAC]

Wood duck hunting is no more duck hunting than ringneck shooting.

But, I hear that some people have HUGGGE plans to return SC to the glory days of rice production thus shifting the tides of our wintering waterfowl migration!
Make SC great again....

[Southernduck]

I often wonder about all the water pumped out of the ground to flood fields to shoot a duck. It is not sustainable in anyway. Pump it out of a river is a different animal as when you turn that water loose at the end of the season it goes right back where it was going. Arkansas’ water profile is a little different story than ours.

Lets say that a lazy old duck would fly South leaving behind ample flooded corn and water for rice. (Unlikely)

They believe that the people holding the ducks to the north now wouldn't just switch to rice themselves?

Elaborate

I can show you areas in the West where they totally depleted their aquifers with well pumped irrigation. The old irri systems are just pushed up into the bushes and out of the way. It is a finite resource once X number of wells start flowing...
