I'm planning on getting a duck hanger fabricated as a Christmas gift this year. To specify, it would be used near the cleaning table at the ranch to take pictures with. I've got a design in my head, but would like some other ideas or opinions. This will be used strictly for ducks and I would like it to hold 6 limits. I'm thinking three rows of 12.

Does anyone have any pictures of duck hangers they would like to share?

Just drill a 3\4 inch hole in plywood in the order you wish to hang the ducks. Paint it. Stuck duck beaks in holes. Gravity will wedge the beam in the hole. Take picture.

We do what Wal does but make two holes and then saw in between.

There you go

DAYUM Creek...you do know that dead hens don't lay eggs?

#shootforgreen

Gotta fill every hole on the board somehow when that's how success is defined

Telling you boys Aldo Leapold reincarnated right there.

Yeah, but live hens get raped repeatedly before they lay those eggs. They were just mitigating trauma for some of those egg layers.

not bad for a grease monkey, I had to google old Aldo Leapold

Don't feel bad G...I had to google the old codger last week, I'd never heard of him. I'll give the grease monkey one thing...he's well read.

That magazine ole Hugh Hefner started interviewed him last year.

Takes two to tango

I do, but sometimes getting a limit, picking up, cleaning the birds, dropping guys off, and still getting breakfast from McDonald's before 1030 is a little more important. I shoot only green when my stomach isn't growling... You notice no shovelers in the pic though!

you'd need to drill bigger holes for a nice trophy spoonie to hang on the board

All I know is TJ is now Trinity jesus
Not Texoma Jesus

That's why you just split the board instead of drill holes

You see, I'm a bisquit guy and those aren't served all day! Very nice write up though. You deserve an award for that!

We live in Texas. If a hunter says that they never shoot mallard hens, that is fine. When I am in a mecca during my travels, that is how I hunt. Here in texas though, it would be hard to get consistent limits of green without banging a few suzies... Just saying.

Also, when you have large flocks dumping into the woods on top of you, it tends to happen by accident no matter where you are hunting. A hen free hunt in places I hunt can be done, but not all that common.

That's hilarious and very well done, Blue Moon.

Well done BM

Creek...I'd rather go home empty handed versus shooting a few hens to fill out a strap. To each their own as long as your hunting within your limits. Just don't be the douche that cries about duck numbers and kill the [censored] out of hens.

I never complain during duck season.

There is absolutely ZERO evidence that killing hens has any affect whatsoever on population. Studies by Delta, DU, USFW, and state agencies from Washington and Louisiana had the same null results.

Fact is, hunting is so low on the overall mortality percentages of the population it doesn't matter.

Though it is a warm fuzzy feeling holding a full strap of green, don't think you're some great conservationist doing your part.

^^^^Agreed^^^^

Another fact is that someone could post a strap full of green and someone is going to state that it isn't a valid picture... People will find a way to turn anything into a negative. I kill a lot of ducks. I give them a 200 acre marsh resting area that I never hunt. What I have noticed throughout my ~30 years of hunting is that to maintain duck numbers on your place, it is best to get in and get out. Don't drag out a hunt with shooting for 6 to 7 hours. Get done within the hour and then let the place rest all day. I never hunt in the evenings. Once I leave in the morning, I am done. I never hunt the same hole twice within two weeks. When we are within reach of our limit, I let big flocks go so that accidents don't happen.

It's annoying that someone plays the conservation card just because they see a dead hen. I don't like to shoot hens, but it happens.

Last fact.... If Creek complains about duck numbers, about 90% of people in north texas will complain about duck numbers. I honestly cannot remember a year that I ever complained about duck numbers. We put the work in and results are given.

You serious Clark?
