Well it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be...seemed like the birds were kinda feeding all day. :? We did manage to get 18, 2 short of our limit. 13 greenheads and 5 suzies. Small groups were working well, but it was real windy and most of our birds were killed on the first rips. They were gettting out in a hurry after we popped out and started shooting. :x I guess I cant complain, just kinda thought we were gonna leave with 20 greenheads. :D

Here is a photo of the whole gang. Left to right: Al (kingkilla), Brandon, Jordan (jclasen0124), me and Derek (iowamigr8tor). Notice the drake missing his head on the right, Al got kinda rough when he was ringing its neck. :lol:

Here is one of Al and Jordan. Jordan (right) is holding one of the nice big greenheads and Al is holding a weird drake that him and Derek tag teamed on the last flock.

Here is a photo in comparison to a regular greenhead, the weird drake, and a hen. What do you guys think is the deal with the middle one? Derek shot one like that on Saturday too.

Hey tyler quit complaining about being two short no one likes a complainer. And al take it easy its just a duck.

[Jclasen0124]

good shootin' boys. And i agree... al needs to take a chill pill on those babys. But lets give the big guy a hand... he got some "head" for the first time:)

[kingkilla]

ouch that hurts... but if you wouldnt cripple em and not be afraid to pick up a live duck jclasen0124 i wouldnt have to rip off there head. but luke i shot 2 hens for you. yea thats right boys i shot 2 hens, cause everytime they would say get em i couldnt hear em cause it was so windy. so i was always late pulling up and the closest greenheads were already shot. so i shot the closest ducks and they happened to be hens.

[Killer Miller]

I admit I shot one hen but that was because there were only 3 out front and there was the hen right above me so I popped it and then might have hepled you guys out on the last of the 3.

[Maulers INC.]

quit making excuses Al if you would pay attention that kind of stuff wouldnt happen. Just kidding nice shooting

[IowaMigr8tor]

His head kinda popped off. He wasn't that rough with it, LOL!

[drakekiller08]

That Drake looks like it has alot of HEN in it. Thats my opinion.

[Killer Miller]

Yeah we dont know whats up with those drhens! :lol: We're thinkin theyre maybe cross-bred with a pintail or something cause they're skinny like pintails and have this weird grey under their wings like a pinny. But we dont know. :?

[corey carston]

I think it looks like its got lots of extra hen genes .We shoot lots of interesting combos drakes with green yellow and often grey beaks some heads are nearly black lots have only got the slightest ammount of green.There specqulems are a varite of colours.The hens can vary from almost black to karke.They interbread with our native ducks and as a result the are not many pure native grey ducks left .

[drakeslayer]

Good job fellas. This artic blast is killing me. I guess it's time to start looking for geese in the fields to whack between deer hunts.

[Killer Miller]

Same her drakeslayer. Duck closed next Thursday I believe. There are quite a few geese that have moved into our area over the past week and they're gonna get it here pretty quick! :lol:

[Kelly Rees]

I've shot a drake or 2 like that. They are hermaphrodites, male and female at the same time. It's sorta rare but I belive they can breed.
