Is this a Bufflehead? By awful score so far..

Disgusting little birds.

@benCa the Lowe boats are ok boats. just remember that any of the big name boats will have dead rise and a keel. might not seem like a big deal but if you ever get stuck you will understand why it sucks. with this drought thing who knows what the river is going to look like pretty soon.

Hiya, thanks for the input here and this is the conclusion I'm coming to.. Basically, my duck boat can be a freshwater boat, but salt water seems to be something different. I have a hobie tandem sail/kayak which I love.. still... nice to stretch an expensive boat out to as many pastimes as I can..

The route you suggested is affordable enough that I don't have to factor in the divorce costs, making it an even bigger bargain ;-P

But, I do like to live a little, so I might go a little bigger, really diggin the Lowe Roughneck series...

Ben,

This is my friends Lowe Roughneck....Great all-purpose boat...Obviously, it's a duck boat, but fresh water and salt water are well within the realm of usage...If I wanted a new duck boat, it would be the one I get.

I learn a lot here. OK, so a 20 foot Lund or Lowe will do this and that for me, and my testicles are a wild card for how much more I can do with it. The story of my life.

The very best boat to have is, one that belongs to someone else.

True that !

For the record.. we weren't familiar with Buffleheads, and we lost 2 other chances to shoot worrying about species. 2 actually swam right into our decoys, and we still held off. Note that Buffleheads are NOT listed in AZ or CA regulations! And on the river, this, and a millions coots, where all we saw.

(coots must taste awful, as the possession limit in AZ is 75!)

Gizzards and hearts. Mmmmmm

Regarding the question on “ what kind of duck is this ?”
If you don’t know what kind of duck it is, you shouldn’t shoot it or at it !
For one it’s not ethical, secondly Mr. Green Jeans isn’t going to care that you don’t know the rules if you shoot something that is illegal!

I don’t think half the guys on the refuge know what they are shooting at on opening bell. Identifying shadows only the most experienced guys can do. All divers are black right?

And let's be honest....it's a duck...

Buffles are delicious, and because they’re small, you can eat a limit by yourself in one dinner. Don’t listen to anyone who says they’re nasty, those guys can’t cook.

If you can cook good enough to make shit taste good, it's still shit.

People cook bad enough to make good stuff taste like shit. A guy came to the checkstation talking about how he saw a lot of shovelers and he doesn’t shoot shovelers. He tells this story while holding a gadwall in his hand, now thats just stupid.

With or without corn?

 

[Hunter527]

Its a California thing, guys on the east coast, as well other places I’m sure, love to shoot buffles. Just one of the many ways California is screwed up!
