Nice hunt.
I guess we need to leave the hens out of the pics from now on so the" HOLIER THAN THOU CROWD" will not be offended.......

Not necessarily holier, just more mature ethics.....
Yeah, I heard it was called "duck hunting" and last I checked hens were ducks. So.... I shoot the ducks. If there's an easy opportunity to be selective I'll just shoot the drakes, but most of the time until I'm worried about my limit of hens, I just shoot the easiest target.
Any idea of how many chicks a hen produces over her lifetime?? Consider that...
That's for the FWS to consider. If you want to talk about more mature ethics, then stop busting a kids balls about shooting a hen duck which is perfectly in his legal right to do.
Consider this.. It's a waterfowl hunting forum and you're offended by seeing pictures of dead ducks.
Do you deer hunt? Just wondering because of your name?
I do indeed
james, some very "good" duck hunters, and frequent posters, got busted about a year ago near Wilson for enticing ducks. Many of the same types of young hunters in my area are trying the same shortcuts. It will catch up with you. 3 to 4 impoundments in Hyde got raided by GW's on the first Saturday of this split. some of their members posted piles of ducks on forums.
Apple to oranges man. I see what you're trying to do and that's a reach at best.
Since its called "deer hunting" and 2.5-3.5 year old bucks are deer, do you shoot them since they're easy targets or opt to hold out for a mature buck? Kinda the same principle, not trying to be a smart aleck as you were in your post just wondering your take on deer versus ducks...chasin trophies to me means chasing big bucks
Nope, I shoot does. And realistically I shoot whatever I feel like that's legal. It is called deer hunting. Same principle indeed my good sir. By the way, do you have a degree in wildlife biology?

I am about tired of it being called ethics when it comes to taking a legal bird. It is not bad ethics to shot one, if so you are saying we are unethical. In my area we hunt swamps, we have wood ducks, we have duck boxes in all the swamps. We get a few mallards and teal and geese, that is it. We can't be picky if we want to have enough to cook. Also in the swamps it is impossible to see what they are when the woodies are flying. This conversation is about as stupid as the guy who look down on deer hunters for shooting anything for meat. We all buy a license we should hunt how we want no matter the game!
...I have not condemned anyone who does, that's just me...
Us "unethical," yet still completely legal, hunters will shoot the hens you and bailey pass up, it all will be fine!
Lol that was a pretty good one, I like it
