I'm Calling BS on That....

[Eric Patterson]

For fun let's make a list of things repeated by waterfowlers that are just utter rubbish. Let's put the type of erroneous things watefowler's say merely because they heard it from someone else without ever questioning the validity. I'll start.

"Look at the red legs on that fella. New arrival."
"Duck numbers are down. Flyway has shifted west a state or two."
"Not eating no diver. Taste like fish."

This list could get loooooong......

You got some of the best Eric, but..

My wife likes to hunt ducks with me. [shocked] [smile]

 

[Pete McMiller]

When you are seeing Swans the migration is all but over.

"Shovelers taste bad"
"Shovelers taste good"
Let's be honest, nobody eats those things. [whistle] []

"Jump shooting is not hunting"
"Wood ducks are too easy to kill"

 

[Dani]

The ducks flare away from decoys because they are WEARY. Pet peeve of mine....yeah I am sure it's cuz they are WEARY.....

Ducks flared because they saw the anchor lines

DU is short stopping all the ducks so we don?t kill them.

"Insert species" taste like crap.

I call BS: I've eaten coots, buffies, spoonies, GEs, mergies, etc., and found them all edible if properly prepared. That said, mergies prepared improperly are pretty hard to handle!!!

Cook the ducks with a pine board, then throw the ducks away and eat the board.

"My alarm didn't go off it must be broken"

 

[J. Overland]

"Let's sleep in a bit and we'll just be quick in our setup. We'll have plenty of time."

 

[Jeff Reardon]

Brand X camo is much better than Brand Y camo.

All the ducks already flew to the coast.

All the ducks are still inland.

The ducks aren't coming to water, they are all in the corn fields.

The ducks will fly when the tide turns.

Those ducks will decoy to us if we fix the decoy spread.

Those guys over there are all skybusters.

I'll practice my calling before the season this year.

That duck turned when I called.

I don't care if we shoot any ducks, it's just nice to be out here.

I ate every eider I ever shot.

Naw, ducks don't use this marsh or crick or pothole.

trust me, I am just out for a drive; I never have seen any ducks in this area.

these binoculars are for watching Baltimore Orioles and Eagles. Ducks ??? I have never seen any ducks around here.
