question for the wonder...

...what do you do when youve got 5 dead green heads on your strap? do you pack up and leave with your mallard limit? or do you shoot a trash duck to make number 6? Does the wonder settle for a bull sprig? or a canvasback? or maybe stoop so low as to shoot a woodie when hunting mallards in the flooded timber?

.........Answer is A: "Pack up and leave with your mallard limit."

word

I would shoot a 6th duck. Clean and eat them all. Dont shoot alot of green so it doesnt matter to me

.......Our kids don't even like to shoot OTM's (Other Than Mallards)
I Guess we spoiled them too.

In flooded timber, I might wait it out for a drake woodie or another good drake. It would also depend on how many birds are buzzing around and what time I had that 5th greenhead. I'll usually wait for a sixth bird when I have five mallards.

Thanks for leaving us all the other ducks!

Then you ruined your strap of green. Pack up and go!

Throw in a drake(can, woodie, widgeon, bull sprig,etc) and you just made your strap even better. Not filling it would Be like fishing a tournament and going to weigh-in early with four big smallmouth when you can still fill out your 5 fish limit lol

I would pack up my left over twinkies and go home

I'll second that.

Perfectly stated!

Glad y'all leave plenty for the rest of us, sometimes you just gotta take anything you can get!!

Shoot the next bird that comes in! Why waste all your money time and effort to leave without even trying to get a limit.

Take ur last duck who gives to craps about mallards. I would take a woodie pintail or a can any day over a mallard.

We really need to get a bigger flag.

I would take a Woodie Pintail over any duck. That would make for an awesome mount

Mounted my first one, harvested when I was 13

"All ducks make the same splash" If it comes in its going to fall. A limit is a limit, thats my philosophy.

Somedays they are kinda easy bc the birds are moving/working well and your able to pass on certain birds..

Then there are days were if it flys it dies!

What is this yankee feesh you speak of

If it's private, get in, get your green and get out. Don't burn tha hole anymore than nessesary.
If it's public, take no prisoners. Tha boom scouters have you located anyway.

Especially as we dont get much green where down here! Duck is a duck

Valid point

Man, so glad you said that. Now I know I'm not alone. Woodies, pintails and canvas backs are all such handsome ducks.

got that right my friend.

.........Over the years I've noticed that the topwaters who don't give a crap about killin mallards are the same topwaters who can't kill um in the first place.

Hater

^ lol

Haha ya you got it buddy I cant kill Mallards lol. When I have mallards around trust me there isnt anything special to them. No smarter than any other birds(at least for me) . You just stay in and keep waiting for your mallards and I will be out shooting limits.

Lol you looking for a huckleberry

Anybody can kill mallards on private wonder, do it on public then you can talk your smack.

if you only knew

Oh please tell me...

I've seen the pics, and as much as I hate to admit it they do effect the mallard numbers..

Hey wonder.. You ever notice how topwaters, pilgrims, beginers, and wannabees always brag and talk about how many ducks they kill and only shoot green? The real "hardcore" duck hunters are the old timers that grind out a limit and take what they can get. Most people who are good enough to shoot limits everyday don't care what kind of duck it is.

How bout it wonder....you got exhibit A to share? lol

.........Naw, what they don't know won't hurt them

lol

He's such a rugged hunter that he shoots a "Top water Hunter" as his 6th bird and calls it a day.

Could somebody please tell me what a mallard is?

I will respectfully disagree! I know guys that can shoot limits pretty much everyday and we are probably the most picky.

Naw in Texas I would go ahead and fish for another smallmouth.

My point exactly

...........good point Jager.

Whats the limit on Topwaters?

Agreed, but it does depend on your area. If you hunt where the green is, generally the guys that know the birds will target just that.

Boy!All these REAL duck hunters we have in here.One day I hope I can grow up and not only hunt with but JUST hang out with some d bags.....I mean great duck hunters like on here.

Oh and shoot nothing but green.
