Waterfowl Slam?

[BiG Boar]

Anyone here shot close to all of them in BC? Ruddy duck, and red breasted merganser... where does one typically find them?

Lorne we were in a marsh last season or two ago. Like last week of the season and we had two teal come through. We didn't shoot. They spun around and came iback through. And as they were leaving we all realized they were bwt mature birds. And then we had a Cinny in our duck pond a week before opener. And Matt's shot one 5/6 years ago. Or so he says hahaha. So they're possible. I'd say chances of them much better then the Mexican ducks hahaha

but I agree, not likely but the two teal are doable. I think if you spent 108 days of the season in all the right areas. Island. Fraser valley. Potholes of the interior. You could do a good chunk.

So....

Whos in for a contest for the 2013 duck season? I think it would be super fun and would involve guys getting together at certain times to get their ducks as the guys on the island would have to travel to the mainland to get some and vise versa. Sticky a thread and everytime you shoot a different kind, post it up with the list and the duck you are crossing off. Pics or it didnt happen.

I often have wood ducks right behind my house. But I'd be blasting within 100 yds. of my neighbour's houses! That should go over really well. Actually, most of them know me and wouldn't care. I've got great neighbours. I sometimes walk right out my back door to go deer and yote hunting above the subdivision. Permission on private land is great!!!!

Sure - why not - if it brings water fowlers together I'm all for it. It could be loads of fun as you say.

I say start a thread Lorne. Post a pic when you cross off a duck and see who can do the most in 2013? Must be holding up a 13 (or 3 fingers) in the pic or something like that so we know its not from years past.

Sounds like a good idea - simply place a 13 next to the duck or hold it in your hand....no photo - no number 13 = no duck.

So technically 2013 is now open - and will be untill next Friday for ducks - with a another crack at the geese coming up next month?

Slamming the boat is as follows....

A full limit, drakes only, each being a different species...

I've done it back east with a 6 bird limit, 8 here makes it hard, and usually it's divers and seaducks
