Got on the topic a little in the duck v geese thread. I'm sure it's been covered in passing but what is your favorite waterfowl to harvest?

Blue wings or Green wings hands down, every time.

Greenheads and Gaddys. Pintail and wigeon are cool too.

I'll start. For Ducks it is wigeon for geese I will say Canadas.

Teal are my favorite eating along with woodies.

You guys are quick on the draw. If I had to slap leather with RMFC I would be dead before I hit the ground.

There's 2, what are the other 5?

Wood ducks are way up there for table fare.

What im trying to get across here is. I fucking hate spoonies.
:lol:

Wigeon and pintail and geese would be specklebelly

I haven't got into enough of the species to have a favorite.

Mallards, and teal are fun.

I'd love to get some sprigs, wigeon, and woodies though.

I really don't have a favorite duck, more a way to hunt them, and that's ducks in a field. Any duck in a field is my favorite, which is mostly Mallards and Pintails.

The majority of the geese I kill are Canadas, and I do love them, but there is something about when Snows do it right, just circling in from the heavens. I've never killed a speck, but I feel like I'd enjoy the hell out of them too.

My favorite duck is the one that actually flies into range and dies when I shoot it!

Do you hate them this much?





I like how vocal and responsive to calls mallards are.

I'd figure your favorite bird would be anything you could jump shoot.

Here are 6 of my favorite. Damn gadwall ruined my hunt.

Most of you fellas probably won't agree but when the bay is full of mile long rafts of broadbill, there is nothing like a layout hunt for them. When you are lying at the water's surface in the middle of the decoys and 300-400 acrobatic birds are trying to land right on top of you it's a blast. You can hear the wind in their feathers and their weaving, sideways slipsliding final approach is something to see. Tricky shooting but lots of fun.

If I'm ever lucky enough to kill my 6 drake wigeon they'll all be on the wall hanging by a tote

My favorites front and center

We really got into them the last month of the season around here. More then I've seen in a long while.

same here most wigeon I've killed in awhile

Favorite duck is a bufflehead. I pass them up to shoot other species but they are my favorite.

Shooting redheads and blackheads is hard to beat.

Greenwing teal is the most fun to shoot of the puddle ducks.

Pintail
