Is it standing on its space ship?

I’m wondering if duck hunters can actually identify the species they’re working or do they just get lucky. Especially with specific ducks having differing limits and then there’s that male female thing you gotta know before you legally shoot a duck.

Yep it’s no problem.

Yup almost 40 years in myself and it’s usually not a problem because each species kinda has its own mannerisms, color patterns and flight patterns. A few other nuances and then the differing quacks or whistles. Even in low light it’s very much possible. Seeing ducks on the water even at distance their profiles are somewhat different and then there’s habitat.

And I have a pond full of cinnamon teal on my place!

I’ve never killed one anywhere but I do know a few that have. One guy in Priceville has all three drakes he killed in Priceville. Was the cinnamon lost an escapee or what. He still killed it in north Alabama.

What about those Eurasian Widgeon killed in America. What about that pintail banded in Russia I believe killed in America. All kinds of possibilities do exist.

Probability may be low but it’s never 0

I know a professional photog that started out chasing wildlife. He was better than most hunters in his pursuit to capture on chromes and later digitally. He had pics of bald eagles nesting around the nw corner of AL. He had pics of wood storks and whooping cranes along with other lost critters. Pics of alligators on cypress creek back when they didn’t exist here. He even had pics of 2 immature male black bears in Waterloo on the management area long before it possible one could be here. He showed me those pics and told me where they were photographed. I asked him if ever gotta pic of a mtn lion. Not yet he said but he had saw one, one day while driving around. Considering most of his equipment is expensive and just one lens can cost 50k so you tend not to drive around with it in your lap.

I also asked if he’d shared any of those pics with biologist. He did once but I was met with so much skepticism he never did again plus by not telling was able to keep photographing some of those critters. He did work with a biologist regarding bald eagles and nesting sites but not all of them.

This guy and his wife live, eat and sleep photography and at that time it was wildlife. Most of their vacations were photo safaris to wherever. They’re favorite place is in Louisiana bayous saying you never knew what you’d see there.

What’s funny is alligators have been seen and photographed here on the river. One even made
The front page of the times daily. 20 something little ones were seen in cypress creek by a viable individual and then mom was captured. Still to this day folks deny them being on the pickwick river.

I saw one in Bellsink bottom swamp way back in the 80s. Told no way possible had to be a beaver. Beavers tails don’t swish side to side. Besides my good friend saw it better than myself and he’d been around gators in Florida. A year or 2 later one hit the front page of the times daily.

What was the ccr song about this thread, went something like; doo, doo, doo, looking out my backdoor?

Where is Pickwick River?

You’re a lawyer right?

Lake. Folks around here call it
The river. The lake is called Wilson. Pickwick Lake is referenced as in Tennessee generally. The river is the tail waters below Wilson. The area specifically I mentioned is cypress and seven mile island areas. Then on down is Smithsonia

Sorry just habit.

People have them as pets and it probably was one at one time. A guy here in Tillamook has several and people think it's a wolf pack. It's all in the tail. The crosses usually have a curled tail when walking.

So in other words you got nothing

Almost certainly the case here. Escapee that got shot. Thats what i meant by not rare. Taxidermist said he had saw quite a few. They get loose and dont want to come home. Youd think everybody would have seen a wolf running loose, but youdont hear about that much.

So do those hybrids have a breeding population or not?

😂

Correct, I got nothing. I would attempt to get out of the subdivision a little more, but now I'm scared to even go outside!!

I think so but theyd likely still be in the fence. I reckon it could breed any dog or coyote it wanted to. If it was a female, you know dang well shes getting bred, probably by a chihuahua a poodle and a lab

I know, right. Lol. Covid was brought on to get Trump and bring in Biden. The clot shots kills all that took it


Yet now get this. A mtn lion can never ever have touched the soil of Alabama since the 50s. Doesn’t matter one was killed in GA near the Alabama line. There’s numerous confirmed mtn lion sightings in TN not far from the Alabama state line and another confirmed sighting in Arkansas

Those sightings cannot be feasible or even possible yet the NWO is out to get us conservatives. Gotcha. 😝

There's a huge difference in one moutian lion being in the state of Alabama since 1950 and some of the bs being spewed on here. We're talking about the same five or so people seeing them multiple times and multiple things. There's one guy on here who has seen a moutian lion a wolf , a black pather, and a ufo! What are the chances of that. This is why most people don't believe these things. There's bigfoots, aliens and jaguardians, and I can't see a five year old buck. But hey it's probably I just don't spend enough time in the deep Alabama wilderness.

Backwoods cowboy, i did not say i saw a black panther, i said i saw a big black cat. I said more than once i never saw a wolf. Just about everyone has saw a flying object they cant identify, so thats nothing odd. And the regular colored big cat i saw might have been a mtn lion, might have been a florida panther. I dont know, it happened fast. About half of what youve said about me is lies. Youre saying i said things i didnt say. Not hard to prove that. Youre proving pretty often that truth dont mean too much to you. If you want to criticize me or belittle me, thats fine, but atleast use the truth to do it. Ive said enough truth about me that you could paint me as a pretty terrible person. But every step of the way youre proving who you are.
