What do people look at waterfowlers as? And what makes them different than a upland hunter?

Loaded question. It's the same difference between deer hunting and squirrel hunting.

Waterfowlers are, crazy people covered in mud, willing to spend thousands of dollars in order to walk miles, with 60 pounds of decoys on their backs, in a stanky azz marsh, filled with snakes and alligators, on few hours of sleep, all to kill a few ducks, probably spoon bills, that barely have any meat on them.

The fact that I can walk on water of course. A waterfowler is the standard by which other scatter gun hunters are judged.

There's only two kinds of people in this world.

Those that love to hunt ducks.
and
Those that have never hunted ducks.

I'm just jealous that we dont have wood ducks around here. Well we have a few, but I only see them before or after season.

Build it and they will come, boxes that is. That's how we hunt them we find the boxes and set up in there path to them. We have boxes on the side of the levee so we set up on the other side in a canals where they feed on there way to nest, it's a simple strategy ad it works

The few that we have leave very early. I've seen them in some of my spots, but only in the summer.

I would still rather deer hunt, simply because the much greater return on investment appeals to my cheap side. I can spend $1 for $350 worth of meat, or I can spend $11 for $5 worth of meat. Oooof.

In all honesty, it kind of goes like this:

Waterfowlers are assholes

Upland hunters are stuck up yuppies

Deer hunters are lazy mofos who just want to drink with the guys for a weekend

Turkey hunters are weird, socially awkward folk


And I can't think of other things to hunt for their stereotype

That only worls in certain states. Most deer you are going to get here is 4. Typically only 3 because you will only get a doe tag once every three years.

For me, I get 2-5 lbs of meat for every goose, and a lot of the people we bring do not eat them, along with ducks, just not as much meat. Usually each end up with a few hundred pounds total. Sure it doesnt equal 25-30 deer, but its way more than four.

I should have added.

For me, I just don't get that feeling inside when I shoot a deer anymore. I still get it every duck or goose I shoot though. Thats the difference to me.

For some reason or another it seems like every hog hunter I've ever met that runs dogs has done time in jail.
