Anyone else have this problem?

[Is That A Duck]

I got my first duck hunting season under my belt this year. I got three hunts in total and got 3 birds over the first 2 hunts, but ended my last hunt of the season with limits. I am now absolutely hooked. My problem now is that whenever I see a goddam bird my head turns on a swivel and my eyes automatically lock in just to see if it is a duck. Is this normal?

I’m on the same boat. 1st year hunting ducks and went on 3 hunts. It’s a problem when I’m driving and see ducks I just keep staring at them

Yes that's normal, we get mallards nesting in our neighborhood this time of year, whenever I hear their wings whistling overhead, I automatically look up to see where they're at and get excited briefly until I remember I'm not in a duck blind! Whenever we drive by a body of water, I look for ducks on the water or in the air. One time I was playing golf and there was at least one hundred shovelers on the lake, it was tough staying focused!

I’ve been in the duck blind since I was three years old and I’m 47 now and havent lost that feeling yet

Just wait till you’re having a conversation with someone outside, and out of the blue two ducks go flying over and you blurt out BOOM BOOM

Ya most of the time I raise my pretend shotgun and send a few rounds at their way. It doesn’t go away.

Haha...its like a narcotic for sure. Very normal for most.

I know when @Snake Charmer started waterfowl hunting his eyes were like pinwheels. I am still coocoo for ducks and geese.

Glad I'm not the only one ..my wife says I'm like a cat because anytime a bird flys near I can't help but look! This was my first season as well

Totally normal for me. I'm looking on my commute, at work, basically anytime I'm outside...
