    You’re correct. It was an “inside joke”.

    I still watch videos of the birds hovering over the blind, looking to see if I missed one of those hybrids in any of them.

    Nah. InstaPot fixes that. I’ve just eaten so much fowl I’ve grown webbed feet.
    Not sure where you’re going, but yes. The wigeon are strong. Many flood events have them in pastures frequently. Once they’re in the pastures, wigeon become pepperoni or pressure cooked and becomes filler meat.
    I swear a hooded merg would become 2nd helpings with an InstaPot.

    Glad you did. After killing wigeon for 30 years, I’d never of believed it.
    Appreciate it.

    Well, I hate admit it. I got tired of shooting Wigeon. So we had this plan. Hike into the marsh where mallards were using. Problem, big problem tides are guesstimates. This log was supposed to be knee deep. Ended up being belly button deep.
    It was 37 degrees and blowing 20. My buddy says “4 mallards heading in” I said who gives a fuck! We were laying on log staying warm. We killed 10.
    Today 3 of us went wigeon hunting. Not great. But acceptable.
