Finally got to kill a few mallards the other day. We went to pass shoot cranes but saw all these mallards bombing into a pond so decided to try to kill a few and it worked out great!! 30 greenheads!!!

Sorry to break it to you...but mallards have yellow bills. Those are northern shovelers. Shovelheads. Spoonbills.

Did you shoot the sand hills with steel? I always wondered what a game warden would do if you had ducks and lead shot shells on your person.
Very nice haul.
To be determined

If he was a truly dedicated professional he would pull out a magnet and verify what you shot the bird with! Less time and hassle than writing a ticket! But i ain't riskin it. Thats why hevi shot is worth the $$$$. Atleast it was before the recall.

Very nice haul. We shot them all with 3" steel #1's & 2's.

Good shoot, JP...nothing like mallards back peddling over the decoys We didn't even need decoys! The pond was only about the size of a swimming pool and the only open water for probably 15 miles.

Glad you found a method to match your skill set and a clientele to pay to pas shoot. Truly the handicap parking place for goose guides.
