Son's First Duck

[clayshooter25]

Did some duck hunting yesterday with my youngest son. Mallards, Black Duck and Geese were everywhere! Here's a photo of Anthony with his first ever duck. It was the only duck to set into the decoys. All other shots were at quite a distance. He will be eating Duck Cacciatore with wild rice for lunch today.

What a great moment... I am proud to have passed on the love of hunting to both my sons!

nice congrats to him, where in Westchester? Looks like swamp/flooded timber.

Congrats to Anthony and his proud Dad..

I still remember my first duck..A drake woodie taken 50 years ago..I could still take you to the very tree along the Canisteo river where I sat when I shot it with my 16 gauge Rem 11-48...

And as far as EATING !! I like nearly all wild game and gamebirds, but in my opinion nothing beats puddle ducks...Teal are my all time favorite, but mallards, woodies, and early season blacks are excellent also.
