This is my first online duck bragging post, but this is a rare for my parts. This was the second one I've ever had a shot on. Been hoping to kill one for years. Had 5 come in and they wrapped around to 35 yards, but not quite close enough to shoot. Finally this one came back on a suicide mission: Ended up slow, 5 blackbellies, ringer, and Pintail. Having to travel to kill numbers. |

Congratulations! I remember my 1st "local" shot Pintail from not that many years ago - it was in a group of Mallards that I just had to shoot it down to see it "up close and personal", even happened to be banded at that... - they were "rare" around here, but now I seem to get more and more each year since. Hopefully your flyway will increase in numbers too... |

Surprised you don't see a lot of them. I had 2 females and a drake skirting me at 50 yards this morning. Then they seen me scrambling to find my whistle and they were gone. Good looking bird. Is he going on the wall? |

Yeah, he and this bird are at the taxidermist now: Was my first true greenhead FL mallard. 2 weeks ago. Had a group of 8 come in, they were so slow it was easy pickins. Ever since the BP oil spill we've been killing a lot of rares. |

I could be wrong. Not saying I'm right by any means, but every mallard we've killed this season so far is fully plummed and the last I checked, SC is north of Fla by the migration. Good killing tho by all means. |

I killed a mallard opening day over here and he didn't have any of his colors. Sent from my iPhone using Smoke Signals |

Nice bird. How many of ya'll remember when they were 10 point ducks? I remember going to the coast in the late 70's with my dad and the 5 of us would kill 50 pintails a day on a weekend. Different game today. |

That mallard is pretty, but he's mixed bud. True mallards have a white ring on neck between green head and neck. I always forget how spoiled we are here when folks post pics like these.... Congrats on the birds |

This is a regular occurrence for us in north westMississippi. Pretty much every hunt. Correction auto correct on my phone put east instead of west. It's actually more like north west/ central miss. |
