    Nothing else on this earth will ever fire me up more than that moment I click the safety off on a group of puddle ducks. Nothing!

    I don't know about that....I'd say a gobbler screaming at about 20 yards is the most exciting thing a hunter in the south can experience.

    I might have to take that back. It's hard to beat a good duck shoot around mattamuskeet on a cold rainy windy day. Non-stop shooting until all limits are reached. Bought all species represented in the group bag with the bulk being wigeon. That is hard to beat.

    Gobblers are cool, but ducks are king. Anyone can kill a turkey.

    I beg to differ. Anyone can kill a duck, it's all about location, location, location. People hunting corn ponds need only a dip net held up above the blind to get a limit of ducks.

    I can watch ducks all day. I can watch turkeys about about as long as it takes me to pass the field they are in.

    I’ve tried to really get into turkey hunting but sights like those in the above video are what keep me getting out of bed everyday. Turkeys aren’t even close to that.
    For the ducks

    I've outsmarted a lot of ducks. But I have yet to outsmart a gobbler.

    You must wiggle too much. Happy feet have saved a ton of gobblers lives.

    Turkeys at 20 yards do it for me but a close second would be a pack of dogs boiling thru a low country cutover right on a deer's ass. Ducks with their wings cupped making that last turn are pretty special too. Good thing is I don't have to pick just one and get to enjoy all of them.

    Turkeys have to be the hardest for me...those jokers are hard to kill if you don't stay near a good piece of land.For ducks,all you need is a mud puddle,5 gallon bucket full of corn,and a good pair of running shoes.

    Meh, I was so nervous I missed the first one that came in. Now granted, like an idiot I didn't make sure I had a full choke in the gun when I grabbed it, I just went... he came in, I squeezed the trigger, bird ran away. Still not sure how that even happened, and I beat myself up about it to this day.

    Another time I was on a youth hunt at Bonneau Ferry and my 9yo nephew was with me. He's 20 now. That was the day I learned the phrase "when they gobble however far away you think they are, cut that in half". When he hammered off, we moved to allow him a better shooting line I think he saw us. We never saw him.

    So incredibly limited sample size.
