Anyone takes a trip to the east coast to hunt them? Me and a buddy are wanting to give it a whirl and are looking for info. I’m dying for a couple to put on the wall.

That’s the problem. I don’t have access to anything that I’ve ever known to hold a black duck.

Only one I killed was in a wide spot in a creek. They came in behind us and I kept my face down until they were right on top of us.
I took a snap shot right as they came over. It was low light and I thought I’d shot a wood duck.
My brother knew before he picked it up.
“You just killed yourself a black duck,” he said.
He shot the one with it. It was a hybrid mallard, black duck. Had a streak of green through its head.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands:

I've done a east coast hunt in Mass and Maine but I wouldnt go for just a Black Duck. Make a sea duck trip and ask to go shoot a black duck. Most of it is just jump shooting them up there anyway. With that said I still didn't get my black duck.

You would be surprised how many secluded farm ponds hold black ducks. Gotta have some woods around them or close by, and maybe a creek. Killed many off ponds.

I’ve got access to a handful of farm ponds with woods close by but most of what we kill are grey ducks and a few mallards on them.

These river sloughs west of Decatur hold the better numbers I've seen.

I've rarely heard Gadwalls called Grey ducks except from Cajuns, around here they're known as the Guntersville Mallard I believe.

What's crazy, during the 80's we never seen drakes and very few hens. We'd think we had hen mallards till we seen the spots not he bill. They used to be pretty stupid too, shoot a few in a small flock and the they would keep coming back for more.

My youngest got him a black duck this weekend. They were picking greenhead shots only Saturday pm and got the black duck sunday morning. They had a couple good hunts.

Yeah, I reckon. I think they have a pintail and really pretty widgeon in the freezer waiting too. This could get expensive...

There isn't a spot in Alabama or any other state for that matter, with plenty of black ducks, except the east coast.

We get majority of our ducks up here from Delmarva. Hence why we do get a fair amount of blacks. There's a spot in limestone co that's a slam dunk anytime after xmas
