We finished up our Long Island duck season on January 26. Was a great year, very consistent. Shot I believe the count was 112 puddle ducks consisting of black ducks, pintails, mallards, gadwall, wigeon and teal. Chipped away at 22 geese as well, 31 Brant and a few broadbill. Brant numbers seemed...

I would take the brewers over the mallard band. But in the northeast I only know of one pintail/mallard my buddy Timmy shot. Every other hybrid I’ve shot or is shot is a mallard/black duck. If it’s a band or a mallard/black, I’m taking the band every time!

I’ve had 2 birds banded north of where they were banded. A drake mallard and a Brant, both from Jersey not far from you Craig

Couldn’t upload the picture of the end result… ended up with a 3/3 man limit of geese (24 birds) consisting of 4 leg bands and our 1 Brant a piece. All triple banded, mine which is in the picture was from Iceland the other 2 from New Jersey, one of which had a gps transmitter on its back.

Yes although the salt marsh ducks of Long Island are not quite the most delicious table fare, I hate seeing them go to waste. The seagulls benefit I guess lol

We get a ton of birds here with rice breast. I’ve already had to toss several black ducks, a pintail and a gadwall.

Nice cold weather front here on Long Island gettin the birds to play nice

I sent my Benelli out to be redone by Rob Roberts I absolutely love it highly recommend them! I had my gun so rusted and beat up I am not the best at preventative maintenance. The gun came back better than new. I wish I took before and after pictures.

We’re shootin em in the snow today. Buddy and I shot a 2 man of mallards in blacks in 20 minutes

Nice that’s awesome congrats

Congrats on the band! If you don’t mind me asking where was the band from? My buddy shot one banded in Quebec last year here on Long Island during our first split.

The partridge and Sharptail hunting is out of this world as well. We shot more partridge than anything they were everywhere!

Great videos Craig. I go out every year it’s truly an experience for us east coast guys. We mix in some upland hunting as well, I don’t know if your crew is into that but you sure won’t be disappointed if you give it a shot.

I have a TDB 14 classic boat cover for sale. Local pickup only Long Island NY. Cover is in great condition. Message me for pictures, thanks.

Gary King he’s out of New York his studio is called Waterfowl Creations. Also Fred Barilla he’s out of Long Island New York his studio is Fred Barilla taxidermy. Both are absolutely phenomenal I use them and recommend everybody they never disappoint!

Unbelievable season congrats

I have one on my Bauer boat as well. It definitely helps get the bow down and cruise at a lower rpm. Sometimes it does get annoying when trying to cover the engine, but a piece of burlap and some extra marsh grass will do the trick. I think it’s worth putting it on.
