2009 Waterfowl Photos

[Quackaddict9]

Hey Quack, what the heck do you guys do with all those birds you shoot every day?? I cant beleive you live only duck and goose.

I can't tell if its sarcasm or whatsoever but I'll go with it... I wonder why I did not get any of these comments last year, this is like the 5th time now.

Ever tried marinated duck breast with bacon wrapped around it on the grill? MMMM great tasting, kinda tastes like vension steaks that I've had in the past. How bout Goose alfredo pasta? Or Goose brats? That's how I cook my birds most of the time...I ask the guys I hunt with what they do with theirs, they say they eat them- mostly Jerky, brats, and give them away to friends/families.

I don't hunt everyday, I have a job as well.

I live for waterfowling, yes it's my passion and I love everything that relates to it. Is that a bad thing? Some others live for deer hunting, pheasants, grouse, fishing- walleyes, panfish, muskies/pike, even sewing or knitting.

Plus this is a photo sharing thread, not a "what do you do with your meat" thread.

[dan z]

Quack, great job on the limit cant waite till the mallards move down!!!!

[Jim Uran]

Yep Quack, your posts are awesome, and we appreciate them. So keep them coming and if you don't want to address the negative posts, don't do it. They get sickening to read and they are an interruption to this thread.

NoDak birds.

[walleyehunter80]

my best guess is that there is about 30,000-50,000 geese within 50 miles of Mankato, Mn and a great number of the are small geese. Get on any body of water and set some deeks blow your call and you to can have 300 lessers tornado into your spread!!!

All you have to do is scout!

[walleyehunter80]

On another note, not like we need any more hunting presure out there (but), now IS the best time for even the most unexperienced hunter to bag a limit!!!!!

The only thing that could make it any easier is a blanket of white stuff on the ground

Got out before class this morning in a MUDDY been field just out of city limits. Managed to get our 15 mallards and 3 widgeon and make it back in time to clean our birds and wash the deeks before my exam at 12:30.

Nodak Trip Pics.

[HOT SPOT]

We Hunt where the birds are. Fild / water. And by looks of it might be tuff to get into fields for a while. Hope not I am taking of tomarow afternoon to go bag em Hopefully

[jeepguy]

Fields were tough to get into, this is basically what happens when you try to get into a field.

Needless to say it was a slow ride home and a pain in the a#% to clean out.

[no bait nate]

bacon wrapped teal is my favorite, but any ducks are delicious that way. thats how 90% of my bag gets put away

[fishuhalik]

Not to add insult to injury, but I got a good laugh out of that pic of your truck tires. I can't even imagine how many hours and quarters I spent with a power washer on the wheels of the ol' Nissan!!

[Gordie]

dont washem it'll all fall of by spring

[onlydrakes4me]

BACON WRAPPED DUCK IS GOOD. I ALSO HAVE MADE DUCK STEW, VERY TASTY MMMMMMMMMMM

They are 20" wheels so you can imagine the volume of mud they can hold. I managed to clean them out with a hose and a snow scraper. Although when I made it back home it took around $20 in quarters at the St. Michael auto showers to clean the mud off, and it is still falling off as we speak.

Why assume the worst.....

In his photo he says WHEN YOU GET INTO A FIELD

Because in ND you can hunt unposted land ... if you access a muddy field and make a mess ... you ruin it for everyone becuase posted or unposted the land may become off limits to hunters. I was in NoDak last week and never picked up mud like that. No way was that from a field approach...

Hunters visiting NoDak stay out of the fields and tread softly on minimum maint. roads and trails. NoDak will probably freeze up before it dries out.

Some of that mud was from accessing a cut hay field earlier in the day, the rest came from crossing a turned field to access a water hunting spot. The landowner said ti was perfectly ok to cross the field, actually going back to the spot the next afternoon you could barely tell a truck had crossed the field.

Nice ducks all, but man there are some angry duck hunters in here.

[mudslinger]

Jeepguy, just to razz you a bit..... where are all the jeep pics??? Its all pickups. What gives??? =)

[jeepguy]

Used to buy Jeeps, then decided to get a Titan Pickup. But I have been using to name for years so why not stick with it.

[mudslinger]

Nice trucks (Titan). Just had to razz ya.

My brother (cutter08) and i were at it hard this weekend and didn't do to bad. Saw a lot more birds than we have in the past couple of weeks.

One of the many reasons i love waterfowl hunting, a great sun rise.
