Did you know?

Small ducks have a triple in their species:  Blue, teal and cinnamon wing. All can be found in the continental United States.

TIP:  Ducks flap their wings continuously until they commit to land.  Watch for this, because it helps distinguish them amongst protected birds.

Did you know?

Ducks are not in full plumage until later in the season.

TIP:  Let your ducks commit or fly within 40 yards prior to shooting.  Biggest mistake hunters make is misjudging the distance and shooting too early. I always suggest that you wait till you see the “whites of their eyes!”
