Got my first duck !!

[tiggere]

Went scouting yesterday and found a few birds...got there this morning and nothing...waited around and heard some shooting a ways off...bout ready to call it a morning and 7 of them came in...got one on the first shot and a nice big fat tree on the second as they were getting the heck out of dodge...anyhow...I can see how this becomes addicting !!!

Congratulations!




The first duck is a special one. A Male Woody at that is a supreme bonus. Cherish it as if you won the Daytona 500. Every bird after this will bring almost the same excitement.

Pay attention to the black and white tipped Flank feathers under the wing on these birds. They are some of the most beautiful in the wild kingdom, and are very valuable to Fly Fishermen. They make great little keepsakes from each bird too!

Beautiful bird, well done.

thanks guys...my bird wasn't as plumed out as yours...the older male got away (he was the one behind the darn tree) and he looked to have the creme feathers on his chest...they are a pretty bird...

I love killing woodies. That was my first as well many years ago. Congrats.

Congrats on the bird. Wood ducks have always been one of my favorites, and they're pretty tasty too.

Congratulations on your first duck. After 57 years of duck and goose hunting I still remember my first.
