Awesome pic, where ya at?
Took advantage of the Veterans/AD early day in Oklahoma last Saturday to jump and down a couple of Wood Ducks in the creek just below my house. I'm not a duck hunter, but I'm trying to gather a good example of each species that visit the ranch for my wall.
I'm proud of myself for stopping at just these two with another shell still in my gun. Last year I jumped and downed three Ring-necks and had to eat two...and I'm not a huge fan of the taste of duck. It is so hard to stop shooting when you still have shells in the gun and birds flying...I’ve conditioned myself with hog hunting to go until they make it to cover, or you're out of ammo.

Thankfully woodies eat good! Ya thermal hunting has made me a run it till it’s dry guy myself lol.
One of the tricks I’ve always used when cooking duck or geese is to soak it in sprite overnight before seasoning it. After an overnight soak there is a sheen ontop of the sprite that looks like an oil sheen. Even my picky ass sister in law will eat it lol
Long Island at my buddy’s leased pond. I took the pic. Best duck hunt of my life….but freakin cold.
Mannnnn I’d have needed a little spice in the coffee that mornin! We hit high 20s, low 30s on the Texas coat a handful of times a year.
Very nice! We wound up with 11 today, just couldn’t get the pintail down to play. Had groups of 100+ but our wind was zero and no clouds.
My son’s buddy invited him up to Saskatchewan last month where he runs a guides operation …neat trip for a Texas guy.
