well, ducks and bucks are hard to beat, but when you kill over a 100 green heads in your favorite duck hole and two 120 class bucks with a bow on the same piece of property. gotta love it.

Ya, I couldn't cut it. I become bored out of my mind while sitting on a deer stand. Luckily, I haven't had to endure sitting on one for about 6 years now. Besides that, I have gotten to where I just don't even want to shoot one anymore. The only reasone I even opened this topic is because you had Mallards in the title. Ironically, I have seen the most big bucks of my life while duck hunting.

I would personally rather wingshoot. And with a good opportunity to dove hunt all three seasons, and having duck season too, not too mention the occasional snow goose hunts with some real experts, I won't have to resort to sitting on a deer stand ever. If things get really bad, I would prefer to go marsh fishing down in LA.

I love to hunt ducks too, and believe me I have spent hours and hours in a lock-on watching tugboats go by wondering if Im wasting my time or not.
For some reason though the thought of a 150 class deer walking by within bow range makes me have more patience. For me, one p/y with bow is by far better than a several 5man limits of mallards

the only thing i have killed with gun in the last three years are game birds, if it has hair and antlers i would rather stick that muzzy behind his shoulder at 20 steps

Deer hunting is for sissies who can't hack it.....

I quit deer hunting w/primitive and guns, because there was no challenge other than how to keep my butt from killing me from sitting on it....

Lazy man sport... you sleep in, you ride a four-wheeler to a baited field and shoot an animal that has the brains that god gave a friggin rock!!

I quit deer hunting the day I followed a nice buck through the woods for 6 hours......made a nice, long, slow stalk, checkin' the wind, watchin' his ear tips.......timing my moves just right, waiting for airplanes to fly over and mask any sound I thought I might make.........it was a memorable stalk on a worthy trophy buck.

Then I slipped within range........and slapped him on his booty with my bare hand. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It use to be fun and exciting when I was 14 too, buddy. :wink:
