What species do you take the most?

[Baysider]

This last season I shot mostly sprigs. It sucked, because we can only shoot two. Basicly all that would come in was sprigs. So other than 5 days in october where we basicly shot limits every day, we ony shot 3 birds a day, sometimes 4. 2 of which were sprig almost every hunt.

I feel sorry for you. Try our one black duck limit days for a while.

[assateague]

No kidding. Especially when they come in in flocks of 25. Makes me sick.

[Baysider]

I hear you man. I had an invite from a guy I had taken a few times. Seemed our schedules never worked out. One day last year he called and said he had this spot on the marsh where a couple hundred ducks were going each day. He swore it wasnt baited and that it had been used many times over the years. I had to see for myself. So we went and in 5 minutes we had our black ducks. We spent the rest of the falling tide watching as groups of 10-20 blacks poured into the hole we were in. Never saw another spieces and we must have scared 250-300 up when we couldnt take it anymore. Pretty sight but it didnt do any good for my itchy trigger finger or the freezer.

You should shoot buffies. Not saying you're a "bad guy" or anything like that- I've found people don't shoot buffies for one of two reasons- the taste, or the size. If it's the former, soak them in buttermilk. Works for buffies, brant, and probably mergs, but I've never shot one. I find that most of the people who mention how small they are have no problem shooting teal, even though they're the same size, and buffies are every bit as fun to shoot as teal. Just my opinion.

I do shoot them sometimes when there is nothing else flying, but I try not to. They are fun to shoot and the dumbest duck I have ever seen. I don't like to shoot them because I usually breast out my little birds to make jerky sticks. The skin on the buffies is so hard to get off of the breast meat, I usually end up with a torn up breast when I am done. So basically I don't shoot them because they are a pain in the neck to clean. Plus they are fun to watch and will land right next to our blinds and swim around. So buffies usually get a pass.

[assateague]

They are comical looking little things.

[Tiler_J]

Yeah, they are funny little ducks. A few years ago my buddy and I decided to start shooting them after a few hours of nothing else flying. We shot the first one, as my buddy was walking out to get it another group came in and tried to land with the dead one. We shot a couple more out of that group. We picked up our birds and walked back to the blind. After a few minutes of watching buffies fly by out of range, I picked up one of the dead ones and threw it into the pond about 10 feet away from us. That was all it took, finished off our limits with birds trying to land right in front of us. Even when we missed they would usually fly back by and try to land again. They are so dumb. I just hate to clean them, but they can be some fun when there is nothing else flying.

Shovelers last year. Most years it's either mallards or Gadwalls or ringers.

[Bootlipkiller]

OH Dyslexia my old nemesis you have gotten the better of me again.

[Mic]

Greenheads, greenwings, then spoonies and greys. Will lay the duck call down any time a specks within hearin', though.

[Goldfish]

I feel like I would have had to shoot more birds last year to claim a "most". Out of the boat, I think it was BWT and buffies tied for number dropped.

[Ajverret]

I killed more Greys last year than ever usually its alot of teal but we also has an unusually large amount of canvas backs last year. I can't wait for Nov. 10th and hopefully we have as many ducks as we did last year

[jarbo03]

More Canada geese than anything for me, the gaddies and mallards.

[blackrhino]

BWT's and Woodys. From there it's a mixed bag.

[Ajverret]

I got a pretty good woodie spot myself we shoot them when come feed in the bar pits before they cross the levee to go to the wood duck boxes

[Fowlplay]

woodies for me in the great waterfowling region of the north ga mtns

[Gr8white]

Woodies
Scoters
Mallards
Blacks
Gw teal

If I could shoot more than one black a day it'd be at the top.

[hunter1]

those are some good looking pics-I would say out here we get mallards the most but all species are possible.

[birdman]

In WA where I hunt we shoot wigeon and mallards.

[aunt betty]

I go into the woods in a tiny little boat. Won't even try and compare that to laying in the ocean in a skull boat.
I resent that they have defined me as a pansy a** puddle duck hunter.
To each their own I guess.

I kill mostly greenheads.

[rebelp74]

Wood ducks and gadwalls for me. Them bastards are everywhere down hear.
