I just contacted a federal biologist at the National Zoo. Flight is right- they are greenwing teal. Federal biologists know everything, and will certainly tell you.

If money were no object, I'd like to have a perfect hunt on my own property. I figure if money were no object, I could pull that off.

Realistically for now, I would love to be under a spring snow goose tornado with an extended mag.

Mallards in flooded timber
Harlis in Alaska
Everything in Argentina
Big limits in old Mexico in March
Eiders with the Swampers on the East Coast out of a layout boat
Anything in Louisiana
Canada again
Midwest snow geese and blues
Wood ducks somewhere
Curtain blind hunt

They get into em NNW of me, but not really in my area. I've seen them around here before/after the season, but I've never even shouldered the gun at one.

Not really missing anything IMO. They are in and out on nothing but a pass shoot. I like watching the show in that a wood duck does not provide. Just me though

I've just never killed one, and would like to scratch it off the list. Besides, I need one for the wall.

You need to get in where they are roosting or feeding then. Local guide around here calls it a kamikaze wood duck shoot because those crazy buggers are everywhere all of a sudden. When I had the emperor I watched a Woodie drop out of a flock from about 100 yards up to 30 feet above my head in about 2 seconds. I didn't even realize what was happening till he leveled out and skimmed my head practically. I love them guys.

x2. Wood ducks put on a better show for me than almost any other duck. Sucks that you think that the only opportunity for getting woodies is pass shooting. Hard to not love the jetliner sound of a flock of woodies bombing down to land in your decoys.
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.

call me simple but, a hunt with Rick Hall is at the top of my list. the only reason i would like to kill birds would be to see Peake work.

hunting out of the barge is also up there on my list. (never been on a big water diver swatting trip)

sculling and a sink box hunt are definetaly desirable as well.

i have no need to go out of country for a hunt, but i sure would like to travel to domestic destinations to see how diverse waterfowling is in America.

x2. Actually shot my first one on opening day this year. Dropped it like a stone on the little back water creek. Sent Charlie. About half way there, the damn thing comes back to life and flies away. It didn't even look cripped to me. Thought it was dead

Louisiana has some pretty sick duck huntin

I have a wood duck spot we can get flocks of 10 to 15 comin to the decoys at a time. I thinks such a good spot because the duck boxes are right across the levee from my blind

You shot a possum, Red, not a wood duck. You should be more careful with your shot ID.
