What is it About Ducks...

[Black Bart]

...that resonates so deeply within your soul? More so than other animals and/or pursuits? I'm hoping for some good feedback, considering the nature of this site. Thanks in advance for your contributions.

Knowing that somewhere in the Low Country of South Carolina there is habitat that I created and a duck is thinking about my place before or during migration. Gets me pretty excited

It's an illusion. You're over romanticizing it because it's the "cool thing" on social media with lots of hashtags and expensive gear that makes you feel apart of some all-inclusive clique. It's a lie.


Take up golf. You can play year round.

Feels like you're grumpy a lot.

Watching them "do it right..." when they commit to the decoys is like nothing else.

I've seen it a few times now, and it is indeed pretty cool. Watching the dogs do their thing is pretty awesome, too.

They help pass the time until turkey season.

It may sound odd but I duck hunt 3 or 4 days a week on average and I tell people I'm not a duck hunter. I love it but I don't eat, sleep and breath it like a lot of guys on here.

Eastern wild turkeys and mature bucks keep me awake at night.

Kinda funny, I really only hunt turkey because duck season is over and fishin hasn't really kicked off yet.

People that hunt just for their dogs just to retrieve aren't hunters, they're strange gatherers that might not have a penis.

Strong talk for a man who wears dainty socks.

I enjoy watching the dogs do what they are trained and bred to do.

I don't often wear dainty socks, bit one thing is for certain.. I stand pretty solid by my beliefs in life and hunting. There's nothing wrong with watching dogs work, I've trained enough.. it's the people who say they hunt just for the dog. Most of them have no problem hunting tame ducks or tame quail. That's faggotery, it's not hunting. Those two are not akin.

Aside from HS's thoughts on the doing this for the dog thing earlier that's a big part of it for me. It's a combination of two things for, getting ducks in the hole because of decoy placement, calling, scouting, etc and then watching a dog I trained do its job well. That will always be a bigger part of it for me. Last I checked I still have a penis.

It’s the whistle of their wings before you can see them as the sun is just starting to light the eastern sky that does it for me.
