Ducks

[Oregon]

Just pics of some October duck hunting. Waterfowl is my thing, myself and the pup try and hunt everyday of the season I’m not chasing antlers or it’s raining horizontally. It’s nice having Oct thru March off from work.

Very nice photos indeed.

Great pics and I love the O/U and bonus snipes.

Is that a stainless Ruger Red Label?

I'm also in Oregon and started waterfowl hunting more and more since I moved here three years ago.

Been hitting Sauvie Island 1-2 times per week and will go East a few times this winter, too.

Nice, congrats on the birds!
I've seen that shotgun in on another forum and just spent an hour searching and still can't find it....

I've been out west elk hunting a couple of times but ducks are my thing as well!

If only duck season was not in the middle of deer season...

I am no good at it but man is it fun, except for how early you have to wake up...

Great pics.

I don’t set an alarm for ducks. I hunt the tides. majority of my hunts I leave the house between 9am and 1.

More geese here than anything, but sometimes a decent mixed bag hunt. Mostly mallards, a few black duck. Unfortunately our limits have been cut pretty good. 2 mallard, was a single black duck but now two as well.

Ducks are about all I chase at this point

I've recently gotten more interested in Waterfowl, even enjoy hunting Swamp hens.

My thing too!Nearly every day i'm not bowhunting and sometimes I even split those days.I live up on the Coteau Plateau in NE SoDak(duck factory)and can tell you we are having a near unprecedented hatch.Lotsa water everywhere.Goslings all over and duck broods starting to show.In my daily 4 mile AM ride I'll see between 12-22 male mallards loafing around so lotsa hens nesting in the miles of water n grass.
Also with all the water,we have incredible numbers of divers(including Cans)that stayed and are nesting here this year.Gonna be a great Fall!

2 years ago was tough in northern Louisiana. Last year was better but still below average. Hoping this year will be even better.

Great looking pup and it looks like you're earning your keep with him.
As much as I enjoy all bird hunting waterfowl holds a very special place in my heart.

Nice Pics!

Duck hunting has become by and large my main thing. I'll be elk hunting for the first time this year but I'll be looking forward to getting back from that trip and chase ducks. I just started my own custom duck call shop this year also so I'm looking forward to using them to call in birds and see the results of my customers doing the same.
