Cormorants (Water Turkeys) are considered an exotic, along with pelicans, gulls, black birds, egrets, herons, terns and many other. You need a special license issued by Jack Daniels to shoot exotics.

Also this gives the ducks a landing zone in the middle of circle and keep the birds well within range for your shots.At the head of the circle put more blocks as if the diver are feeding at the head of the circle , if you watch Bills on the water feeding they feed like this as they dive down they pop up futher forward in the group this is why I set the circle up like this. Don't be fooled keep you eye open I've shot Pintails , wigeon , mallards ,teal you name it off this cicrle while hunting divers you never know whats gonna show up during ya hunt so Good luck to ya .

X2, but I doubt I'll ever see one that nice. They leave way too early.

Also, I might just be unlucky, but every time I've handled a pintail, I've had lice crawl up my arms. Is it just me or are they more prone to that than other ducks?

I usually find mites on mallards, only cleaned two pintails in my career and I think they was clean.

That and you don't feel guilty when you see kids feeding mallards at the park

See, I'd make a terrible banker. I would have tried sleeping on the pile of cocaine instead of the pile of money.
