Post How many duck species do you typically shoot in a season?
I am super lucky to be in a spot where I can shoot almost every species here in Canada- restrictions only on Blacks, barrows, and harlequin.

I average anywhere from 13-20 species a year.

Whats it like where you guys hunt?

Mallards
Blacks
Wood ducks
BWT
GWT
Gadwall
Pintail
Wigeon
Shoveler
Lesser BB
Greater BB
Goldeneye
Bufflehead
Redhead
Ringneck
Mergansers x 3 types (common, red breasted, hooded)
Old Squaw
Ruddy Duck

This is just this season ^^ not counting Hybrids.

How many different types do you guys usually get?

In descending order of # killed per season: mallards, gadwalls, wood ducks, snows, gwt, specks, pintails, widgeon, and once or twice a year we'll get good and toasty and go on an afternoon boot lip beat down. Dont shoot Mergansers and ruddy ducks.. Got plenty of em on the catfish ponds, I'd just rather not waste steel shot on them.

Hey buzz. Keep a look out at the cormorant flocks. Last few years we have been spotting brants mixed in. We take a few a year now
