TOP 10 (lower 48)

Postby the doctor » Wed Sep 21, 2016 6:41 pm

Hey guys needing some input. Thinking about a bucket list of sorts for waterfowling experiences in the lower 48. What would be your top 10 (even if you haven't been) experiences, places etc coupled with a species?

Trying to think along the lines of iconic places as well like Beaver Dam, Chesapeake Bay etc.

An example would be Greenheads in the timber Stuttgart AR.

Go!

Thanx in advance,

the doc

Doc, I know you said Lower 48, but I am going to suggest Alaska as an ultimate bucket list waterfowling destination. I have killed black brant, Canada geese, mallards, pintails, teal, widgeon, harlequins, oldsquaw, whitewing scoter, black scoter, bufflehead, common goldeneye, greater scaup and several others up there.
