First bird?

[Hunter Lewis]

What kind of waterfowl was the very first bird you ever shot? Mine was a Canvasback that I have mounted in my room.

[poodidly]

Goose for sure!!!:D

[Nathan Bender]

My first bird was a pheasant. First Waterfowl was a Canada goose.

[mrussell]

My first waterfowl shot was when I was 12 or 13. Walking along the edge of the reservoir w/ my dad squirrel hunting (he's not a hunter). There was an ugly hybrid duck/goose/cormerant something-or-another standing on the shore. I started chasing it. It just stood there. I shot and missed. It didn't move. I ran up to like 10 yards and shot it....It had clipped feathers on its wings and was probably someones pet.:-( We ate it.

1st waterfowl was a hen mallard, the second which was about 10 minutes later, was a fully plummed pintail drake. only one Ive ever shot like it in Wisconsin. Opening day of duck 17 years ago.

[CUPPED & COMMITED]

My first waterfowl kill was a blue-winged teal I shot when I was 6. I have it mounted. 2 days after we took it to the taxidermist I shot a full plumed green winged teal. Wish I would have waited. And I shot my first pheasant the same year.
