Trophy birds from this season

Let's see everyone's nicest birds from this season! Even if you're not getting it mounted...

Let's see em!

Still haven't ever bagged a Goldeneye! Congrats!

These are my best birds this season. I shot a nice blue goose too. I'll add that pic in a bit!

*Don't mind the rifle next to the Wigeon, Lol. That was a deer hunt on private property that ended up being a duck hunt.*

Man Yak, that blue wing is beautiful!

Thank you! I actually shot one a couple seasons ago that's even better, or he'd be going on the wall! This is the one that is already waiting to be mounted. I'm actually not even sure which is better. It's debatable.

Is that a Gad X Wig cross???

Not really sure. I think so but someone told me gadwall pintail.

Wow. The blue wings I’ve shot have never had that plumage with the white on their head. Do you hunt down on the coast/late season or something? Really cool!

Coast

I hunt solo most the time so there are true limits, not the best 6 birds out of the group that day.
Here are some of my favorite limits so far this season.

Didnt get my kicker 6th duck this hunt but cant complain about 5 mallard drakes

Those are some gorgeous birds guys

Was thinkin about having this moon face mounted but the more I see others the more I may wait to get one with more white on the head? I dunno

I've seen a BUNCH of pintails this year, but this one my dad shot was by far the best.

Got this big boy up in Oklahoma this morning.

Great birds! That pintail is a stud!
I had a great hunt today. Got 4 stud BWT and a nice drake shoveler.

I love drake shoveler's. They are beautiful birds. 3 of us today got 3 drake Canvasbacks, 3 Mallards, drake Black Jack, drake GWT and Gadwall hen.

Right bird is an Atlantic x pacific hybrid.

Wins the internet. Unbeatable. We can close this thread now.

Didn’t know it was a competition....what do I win??? I like winning!!!

Awesome

Awesome

My favorite pic from duck season so far.

Would like to hear more about your trips, who you hunted with, when you went and the overall experience

Not a trophy in looks, but a trophy in the sense that it was my first solo hunt mallard. He was tore up or I'd of had him mounted.
The other pic is a grab from my shotkam of them coming in.

Great job and pics KWood

Thanks 4weight

Brazosboyt always has the coolest birds/photos/stories. Peanut butter and jealous.

Here's the birds from yesterday morning's hunt! I actually shot 4 BWT Drakes that were all just as nice but the 4th one dove down in the cattails right when I tried to grab him. I never saw him again. Very FRUSTRATING. I went back to that spot 4 different times and never saw another trace of him! The shoveler was nicer than he looks. He got a lot of blood all over his breast and head and it got all matted up...


Those Wigeons are incredible!!!

My prettiest bird this year was this drake bufflehead. And my new labrador too...7 months in this picture

Nice pics. Those widgeons were incredible, so are your ducks. Last year we had a lot of nice BWT drakes come in...this year nada.

Unexpected Mallard on a catfish pond. Glad I had my shotgun with me!
