Any predictions on what your last bird of this season will be?
I’m quite confident mine will be a wood duck, we have seen very few other ducks this year and we don’t have the mud for snipe this year.

A pair of high and fast flying ringed necked ducks.
I love shooting them bastards
actually, prolly a few snipe. I have been seeing a good amount in this new mud and mild cold fronts. Last sunday, I saw 20 or so on the wet wheat-fields. They are in the fields.

I’m gonna guess either a mallard or canvasback. Seen a lot of both in the last week at our lease in Oklahoma

Hopefully a mallard. Should get a woodie limit, and then hope it's followed by 3 greenies.

Regular duck season, probably a Blue Wing Teal or Gadwall.
But I plan to hunt the Light Goose Conservation Order season so hopefully a snow goose!

Gadwall or wigeon for me. Plan on hunting tank at the deer lease on last day of season. It was loaded with gadwall and wigeon last weekend when I stopped by to look.

Right now it's a drake bufflehead, but IF I can get out one more time I'm fairly certain I'll keep it classy and finish strong with a spoonie.

Mine was a Ross Goose last weekend, had a knee replacement on Tuesday so I am done till fall Do all of the rehab that you can and you will be back up to speed, I had a bi-lateral and was back at work after only a month. Still had to take it easy but now I can walk 12 miles turkey hunting like I used to.

Hoping is quail, but most likely snipe. Unless you count the annual Spring grackle defense of the backyard.

If my hunt tomorrow is anything like today it will be a spoony. 4 man limit of nothing but spoonies.
If the trigger is gold, the birds will fold.

Slow day in Okiehoma, low clouds no wind. Oh well until next year !

Much to my surprise, my last duck was a redhead drake. I was nowhere near the coast and usually only see them early season. Actually had two fights, but it may have been a repeat flyby. Not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Not to my surprise my last duck was a pintail. I knew we'd be covered up with them so I waited till I got one close enough to catch, but he ended up bouncing out of the blind. It was the year of the pintail for me.
