First hunt

Came out this morning for the kids first hunt, done in a hour, he shot great. Mix of teal mallards and woodies. His smiles tells me he wants to be a bird hunter

Good shooting!

Now all he needs is a lab or a golden

Congrats!! Nice morning for a duck hunt.

Looks like a good time

Here goes round 2. Hopefully the kid will get action again.
Any one else taking kids out ? If so good luck to the young bucks

Good luck!

Not the same today. 1 woody hen. We didn’t see any teal, mallards all passed high over the trees and he had a few missed shots at a couple other woodies. Not even a quarter of the birds moving today

Yep, the birds are now educated after being shot at for approx 7 days in a row between the teal and the youth seasons.
Hopefully they settle down and stick around for the next opener that occurs in 2 weeks.

Awesome

Yep Mason looks like he’s hooked on another species to hunt. Great job dad!

Until he eats them.

He cut them up, he marinated them, he grilled them and shared some with me. Delicious

Two of my kids love them. Ive never enjoyed them. Do like hunting them though.

Depends on the species of duck. I always thought puddlers were decent eating. The mallards, woodies, and teal.

The divers and geese were bad. I’ll never eat one again.

I’m not really a fan either. Kinda why I stopped hunting them for a few years, got talked into it this year though.

Attaboy Mason! And Dad too. Only bad duck/goose is poorly prepared duck/goose imo. Even my wife, who hates “gamey” food loves it when I’ve made it for her. Lots of good preparations for it, but tough to beat a teriyaki marinade and stir fry for those of you who don’t like it.
