What's your favorite duck?

[mtmiller]

Coots are beautiful and delicious. I always fill my limit too. They seem readily available.

Utah guy?

Nope, just really like hunting them. You really don't have to do anything. They just swim right into your spread. You blast em and leave em. Couple minutes later another one swims right into your spread to see what the dead one is doing...hour or so later you got your limit.

Love them all but nothing beats a canvasback for me , mallards
and wood ducks are a close 2nd .

We're all in deep shit when @glass eye starts throwing some birds up.

I used to work at Bowdoin NWR in north Central Montana. There was a couple coming out from the hunt and I met them at the boat launch. I congratulated them on the tundra swan they got, but was at a loss for words when I saw the 6 coots also in the canoe. Watched them load up in their UT vehicle and thought to myself, "now I get it".

Love those blue wings

Spoonies are colorful, had the Birdman mount this one for me. But it's hard for me to get past the Goofy-looking factor, so they don't make my favorites list.

Awesome mount! The shovelor on a small pot hole Prarie pond in the spring on the highline is a tough sight to beat.

Good looking Teal. Always enjoy a good teal shoot. Havent gotten one that colorful though. Mostly early birds.

Here's my trophy duck from 2015, be neat to shoot a few more of these. I guess of all the ducks I've shot this is my favorite one. Shared photos of this duck before but some of you might not have seen it.

Can’t decide between a cotton top, drake pintail, drake woodie or green heads.

Now that's cool.

If I could shoot a bunch of teal every time I go out, I'd be a happy man. Great on the table, a couple birds per person, so you don't fill up the freezer, certainly sporty to shoot, and nice to see in hand. What's not to like?

I love them all, but a mallard drake is hard to beat.

For eating - grain field mallards. For exciting hunting, Canvasbacks.

 

[thusby]

All of our ducks up here are mottled so we don't get much beauty but I have to say that the canvasback is the king of the ducks.

Woodies sure are special, I can't speak to some species like corn fed mallards and pintails. But a wood duck feeding on acorns coming out if a cypress swamp.
