What is your favorite bird to hunt?

Personally my favorite is Greenwing Teal but I also love to hunt geese they are a tough bird to shoot yesterday was the first time we got them in range. Everyone loves Woodducks but there aren't many around where i hunt

Pintail for me!! Just love me some pintails!

Snow geese. A lot of work and can be frustrating but when it comes together it is so much fun. I love it.

Snow geese, especially when they are tornado-ing a spread. Nothing better than that.

Mallards

Pintails for me. The way they circle and circle and circle. Then leave. Then come back and circle and circle and circle. Then leave. Then just fall in.

Hard to narrow it down to one bird. Mallards are always great, but so are cranes, pintails and good flights of canvasbacks decoying...

I like the ones I can get to decoy so far this year.

Any of the puddle ducks.

Redheads on the bay, the way large groups carelessly bomb in..

Pintails are always the most rewarding, though.

King mallard.

All doves and ducks I like the dog part of hunting

Teal

Spoonies and jacks, cuz everybody needs some luvin.

I fixed this for you. Pretty much how it goes for me with Pintails most of the time. It seems like they either drop right in or if they circle I got no chance.

With that said I think they are one of my favorite birds.

We don't shoot a lot of mallards but it seems that when they do come in they seem to work perfectly and drop right in making them really fun to hunt.

I also love wigeon...

any puddle ducks that work and work then drop in for some #4 shot.

My favorite are teal, they come in huge flocks, decoy in well, hover over mojos, are hunted in warm weather and make great jalapeno poppers. you can normally limit out pretty early if they are around... If they were only a little bigger...

The white Devils (snow geese). Love putting the mag extention on and winchestering(emptying all 12 rounds on a flock) and watching the rainout of snows fall. Love it!

Man this is a tough one. I love pintails. We never used to shoot em where I grew up (MN). I could count the pins I've seen in MN on one hand, and in the rare chance we'd get one while hunting in North Dakota, they never had a sprig or were fully plumed.
With that said, there's just something about calling late season mallards that is just so beaver dam rewarding. Watching a flock of mallards that aren't even looking your way, you get on the call and they beeline right for you, circle while you're calling the whole time, they go to leave, get hard on the call, they turn around, rinse and repeat 3-4x and they finally come in at 25 yards, feet down...man, you can't beat that. At that point, I don't even care if I pull the trigger or not. Fooling those smart birds is enough reward for me, but I do love me some slow-roasted mallard...

Bluebills, I like the way they come in like jets a few foot off the water. When we get on them the numbers are usually high also.

To hunt? Mallards...love they way they work a call, typically more elusive in our parts, love the terrain they prefer...
To shoot? Teal and divers...very fast and excellent wing shooting fare.

My least favorite duck with a close second being a ringneck.

Pintails, floating in to the spread.

Day in and day out - Specklebellies and mallards
When conditions are right and ecaller - Snow geese

Cranes are by far my favorite to hunt. Smart birds and very tough to bring down but I absolutely love it.

By "bluebill", are you referring to a scaup?

Bluebill, blackhead, flying turd, scaup...yes sir.

Only people that have had 1000+ geese try to land on their head understands why they're my favorite bird to hunt.
