Today ... Christmas Eve ... I got my first of three different kinds of ducks for a gumbo. I shot all drakes ...
A Black Duck
A Golden (Common Drake)
A Hooded Merganser
I have killed many many ducks in my life, but I have never shot these before. And to think, three first in a single hunt. Now I don't know whether to mount them or cook them.
Cook em...there'll be more.
Having ducks mounted is usually high dollar stuff. Also requires a federal license.
They have been prepped for GUMBO ...
