I checked my go to pond the last couple days. The only ducks hitting it is a group of bluebills. I think I’ll save my ammo for now.

Bluebills (scaup) or ringnecks?

Probably ring necks but I put them all in the same category. Crud ducks.

I’ll admit ring necks suck to clean because their skin is glued to their breasts but they taste just like a puddle duck if you cook them properly.

Is it wrong that I saw two porcupines this morning, which are nocturnal, and only 4 ducks?????? What a season so far lol.

I sure hate to clean RNs but they are sure fun to shoot.

Scouted some birds yesterday evening and hunted this morning. It was tough. Birds didn't want to work. Most came in before legal light and landed where we were not set up. Humbled us a little today. Mixed bag of red heads, pintail, gadwall, wigeon, scaup and a ringneck.

That doesn’t look like a bad haul at all! @Oklahomabassin

It's a good haul for 3 people but we had a group of 5 hunters! ‍
