First time I have ever been. We shot a roost. It was a blast, I haven't ordered my duck boat yet.. but I def want to start going more. I can see why people love it.
I love the rut. The woods are like a bunch of roided up meatheads fighting over a girl.

I’ve shot plenty of them before legal shooting light is over. Usually a cloudy day but not always. I think it’s around 5:00 this time of year. It’s doable.
When I was younger we shot the same roost ponds year after year about 2 times a year. But there wasn’t near the hunting pressure then that there is now. It was a fun 15-20 minutes. Shot a roost way back in the 80s. We were coming out of Reynold swamp and it was dark thirty. Guys were all out in the field and had been shooting. Fire was coming out of the barrels and looked like fun so we joined in. Got few and left.

My late Daddy took me the first time.....in 1965....I was 7 with a .410. About 15 of us went into a swamp in Russel County. We shot until pitch black dark. The average bag per man was about 10 wood-ducks. Many of those men were WWII veterans as was my Daddy. They believed in shooting Ducks or Doves until the last one flew. Game Wardens were scarce in Alabama back then and the least of there worries. Definitely different times. I'll bet 500 woodies tried to come into that swamp!! I bet y’all ate them birds too. These social media boys now days just wants the big numbers for publicity. They’ll throw in a ditch and go get some more. Little piss ants is what they are

Little piss ants is what they are Yes.....back then both Doves and Ducks were plucked....nothing wasted. Quail were skinned and the entire bird was eaten. None of them made trips to Arkansas or Louisiana like so many do these days. Most folks back then didn't have the time or Money to make such trips. They hunted what was available within a 60 mile radius of where they lived. I remember a couple of the Men didn't have Waders as they only went Duck hunting 2 or 3 times a year. They would come out.....shed those wet clothes and change.

He has gotten into in the past two years and he and his friends leased some land in Arkansas to hunt ducks. Was asking him last year what he did with the ducks and he said they just throw them in the ditch. After a little discussion with a couple of us at work, he now knows how to cook them or he brings us some of them. He just didn't know any better but now he does.

That’s the way to handle it overland. My first year was a cluster too but figured it out
It does bother me that some know better and still chunk them
This year if finally kill some I’m gonna keep the legs and thighs and crockpot them like a MS style pot roast.

We used to in WI and I can’t remember how we got rid of the tendons. We’d stand I the wings and pull the legs and pop the breast out. The we’d do something with the legs that pulled the tendons out. I’ve had turkey legs done in a crock pot that was tasty.

Same here know a guy. I guess he just loves killing ducks. Never cleans and eats them. Sells most to dog trainers to train with all Summer. $3-5 each. He better be careful about who he tells that to.
