Did you know?

Redhead hens will deposit their own eggs in other ducks’ nests, hoping they hatch and foster their ducklings.

TIP:  Shooting fleeing ducks after a directional shift … if helicoptering rapidly for the heavens, swing up and through the duck as shooting a springing teal clay target.

Did you know?

Canvasback hens eat eggshells after ducklings are hatched.

TIP:  Shooting into a large flock of ducks is difficult for an instinct shooter because you are glancing from bird to bird. Shoot under a high, retreating duck to intercept its course.
