    Seal steal duck?

    Had a great day out in Cow Bay today. Anyone else had a seal steal their downed duck?

    Was he wearing no shoes? or did a large beard give it away?
    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

    If you shoot a duck and a seal/eagle steals it does it go against your limit or theirs?

    We've had eagles take downed ducks, but not a seal as far as I recall.
