[ducman77]

What is your favorite duck to hunt and you favorite to eat?

Mallard Drake with double bands lol

Teal and Wood ducks

[Dan Mallia]

To hunt would have to be Mallards.

To eat would have to be Teal.

[HaydenHunter]

I miss shooting those bull sprig since leaving CA.

I like to eat mallards and little teal nuggets.

[dukhuntr]

Mallards and love eating wood ducks.

[migzdp11]

To hunt i like the challange of shooting the teals.

To eat i like the big mallards.

[Coot]

I like to hunt em' all, but the mallard is probably the dumbest duck of all to hunt. Sure wish I would see more green in my area because they always come right in like a big ole' dumb mother goose. I find gadwalls to be much more challenging to work than mallards.

Teal are by far my favorite to eat hands down!!!!!

[BoatDR]

I'm not predjuice, so I kill em all.:Banane07: :Banane07:

But teal breast wrapped in bacon and thrown on the grill are about the best eats there is.

[Browning]

I love to hunt greenheads but I'm with BoatDR... kill em all!. Hard to beat teal for eating though.

[Cajun_in_GA]

Personally...............nothing like hunting divers.......................they are fast..................................they are hard to kill (and clean) and i love the roar of a flock of ringers buzzing the dekes 2 feet off the deck.

Also love to watch cans gracefully glide through the air to meet their maker.

Divers for me..........And this is coming from someone who grew up shooting greys, mallards and teal in the marsh, mallards in timber in south LA and in AR.

I laugh when folks talk about how they hate diver hunting............I hope everyone feels that way and continues to drive to AR!!!!!

[Cajun_in_GA]

as for eating them.............

I can take a diver and a mallard, clean them up marinate in Moores for a day, slice them thin, wrap in bacon and on the grill and u will have a hard time finding out what is what!!

teal do rock........will have pics of some next week to prove it!!

[Rocketman]

I'm with the Cajun. After hunting Mallards half my life up north, it will be hard pressed to get me away from the coast and salt water. Divers are the Kings, in my humble opinion. I feel like divers are harder to call and decoy than the others.
Teal eat the best, also, as sick as some people think it is, Try the gizzards. They are awesome.

[HuntinCosta]

divers are awesome to hunt. i love huge decoys spreads!

teal are great to eat.

[Rick]

Nothing beats greenheads parachutin thru the timba on a cold, blue bird day


as far as table fare, well the picture says it all---Teal all the way!!!!!!!!:food-smiley-012:

[ifsteve]

Hunt: Big fat ol greenheads.

Eat: Papa Toms Pizza

[huntn'duxx]

DEAD ONES!!! Hunting has been so hard these last few years I will shoot or eat any duck out there.

[Muddy Cackler]

Teal, teal and more teal. And anything that comes in the spread.

[Larry Andre]

:crazy: Teal hands down, split in half and marinate in Yoshida's Sweet Teriyaki-umm! Or for a nice orderve, marinate in Yoshida's and then wrap the breast around a jalapeno pepper, and wrap with bacon. Barbecue these for a real treat.

[Muddy Cackler]

To hunt, anything that flies.:024:
To eat Teal and Wood ducks.

[mossyoak0270]

No doubt - for hunting, I am with RICK - Greeheads dropping in timber - Nothing like it.

Looks like for eating - Teal appears to be the crowd favorite. LOL

[Frenchduck]

To Shoot: Greenheads in timber. Shooting them in the face




To Eat: Woodies & Teal............Woodies taste like big teal

Wrap em in bacon and put them on a hickory smoking pit

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:Banane17:

[dukhuntr]

Here is my favorite duck!! Freshly killed and on the grill with bacon cheese and onions and peppers!!

[Can Killer]

My name says it all...Cans...nothing like the roar of a flight soaring overhead as they circle the deeks. Fast flyers, big birds that take a well placed shot to kill, and a pretty sight as they set into the decoys.

For eating there is nothing better than a young (cignet) swan. I like to look for the cinnamon or grey on the wings as a sign that dinner will be served. Suprisingly they are as mild as teal with a larger breast chunk to carve...

[duckman2]

I'm going to get boo'd for this but....Canada Goose in a crockpot for about 8-9 hours with a marinade we get from the local meat market. mmmmmmmm.......

[Fun N' Gun]

Nothing beats the challenge of hunting the Florida Ringneck's. :Banane48:

[muddydawg]

Hunt: Got to be the woodies...fast and furious

Eat: Wood Ducks along with (well Rick's Picture above says it all)

[Quackcephus]

Cook out at Rick's house... I'll bring the

[Duckslayer08]

IT FLIES IT DIES

and they all eat the same

[zapper]

I like eating and hunting teal. Hunting teal is always unpredictable. They either land in your decoys or even better yet they buzz your head. The sound of a group of teal buzzing is like a jet plane and shooting them is very challenging. I know you guys are great hunters, and a buzzing teal shot might be easy for you, but for me it is always challenging.

[huntingrdr]

I agree with Rick...

[skidmark]

As a kid of 10 up to 16 cans and redheads on the outer banks of NC. now its ringers over my decoys that makes my hair stand up. to eat its got to be baked woodys.
