Bored and thinking .....

[nitro5x6's]

Favorite ducks?? I have killed specimens of each of my favorites. All time #1 for Me? Black ducks. Just love them and my Dad and I did a "safari" of sorts for them. Fondest memory as a Waterfowler.

Puddle Ducks- Blacks.

Diving Ducks - Canvasback

Sea Ducks - Harlequins. They are super cool little birds.

What say yall??

I have often thought of doing a World Shoveler Slam (four species if you're curious)...our Northern Shoveler, Cape Shoveler in South Africa, Red Shoveler in southern South America and the Australian shoveler. That's a lot of frequent flier miles.

Black is on the top of my "want" list
Cinnamon Teal is high on the "want"
Love a big bull pintail
There is nothing like a good wood duck shoot and eating sausage biscuits by 745 though.

[Woodiewacker82]

Black and pintail are my favorite. But would like to put a cinnamon on the wall.

I've taken all but the Australian. The Red Shovelors are pretty birds.

Drake mallards are still my favorite, no matter how many I kill, especially in the woods.

I've never killed a harlequin or king eider. I like to think I'll go after a king eider one day, but too many other animals I want to shoot. Those would probably be highest on my current list of birds I haven't shot.

Kill- Blackduck

Hunt- Mallard

Eat- Summerduck

I would probably swerve to avoid hitting a seaduck standing in the road, where I would back up to run over a mother blackduck and her brood...

[Highstrung]

haha

kinda my list, I do like eating big fat mallards occasionally. I like teal, but summerducks are just special. I think I'm done with shooting seaducks.

[MolliesMaster]

I'm still too young to have any hard and fast rules.

-I like shooting big groups of blue bills.

-I want to see mallards pour into some timber one day.

-Widgeon and I never seem to be in the same place at the same time.

-A good wood duck hole is the best thing SC has going.

[Fat Lab]

Pintails. That fluttering whistle just hits a different part of my soul.

[Gander]

A nice drake pintail holds a special place for me. Killed many growing up on the west coast but they never get old.

Black ducks are my 2nd favorite.

Killed plenty of cinnamon teal but honestly, they are still only considered a teal.

[trkykilr]

Drake mallards are the standard of duck hunting

[Hogg]

If mallards are the standard,then black ducks are the King.

[Calibogue]

Black and never go back....

In my duck hunting life, I’ve been lucky enough to hunt in places where there are blacks and pintails killed regularly. Not near as many blacks as before ( Jersey is loaded), but Pintails still in abundance depending on the year. I would have to say that the black duck is the king of the coastal rice marsh in my opinion. Watching 50-60 pintails dropping through the stratosphere while whistling is an incredible sight though!
I’d rather eat a teal.

[Relentlous]

Mallards are #1

[Southernduck]

“Very fine bird, the pintail. He doesn’t cheat, which is more than you can say of some people. He won’t eat fish on you, like a mallard will, or even like a canvasback will. And he’s the best-looking duck in the business, unless you like’em loud -colored like the French ducks, the big greenheads.” Robert Ruark

I like gentlemen and I don’t like the French so pintails it is.

[formerly bohica]

You are indeed a gentleman

[Sportin' Woodies]

Drake mallards are the standard of duck hunting

Agreed

[Sportin' Woodies]

Blacks are best after you've already got a couple mallards
