That's one lost bird.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

I think I saw it posted on lousiana sportsman. The guy who posted it didn't know what they killed.

That's only third year plumage. They don't get the nice feathers until year four. Definitely would have been a wall hanger next year.

I wonder if they were shot coming in alone or if they're hanging around with other species of ducks. Maybe living with wood ducks making woodie/mandarin hybrids...

I would eat it.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

I think they hang around with the woodies if I'm not mistaken it is in the same family as the wood duck but I have yet to see one

We have a guy here on base that is an actual no joke truly believes in it big foot hunter. I think he requested this unit because I guess there have been big foot sightings all over the U.P. and Canada. He is putting together a spring scouting trip for them now. Came to me and asked if I would keep my eyes open during this past deer season.

You need to get rid of that guy, before he steals Jehler, Red, and my retirement. Manufacture some sex or drug scandal, please. Immediately. We'll reimburse you for any expenses, plus interest, after the DVD release.

He's a good enough guy. Does his job well, just a little weird.

I don't care. He's endangering The Squatchpedition, and must be neutralized. Proactive, not reactive. Make it happen, Olly. Red can send you some stuff out of the evidence locker if you need it for the setup. Or ask your neighbors.
