We have at least a hundred total in two different ponds. They're mighty dumb. Anybody kill any or have experience with them? We've killed them in MX and Argentina and they sure would be fun to kill here.

They are cool birds.
I've killed a few, not in SC.
Dumber than rocks.

You're right they're not the brightest duck in the world but they are fun to shoot, eat good and they're whistling is cool to hear!
Put up some wood duck boxes and they'll fill 'em up and you'll (we'll) have even more!
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

Sauté pan, dash of EVOO, pinch of salt, to mid rare. Awesome.
I could load the boat with em at STA 1. They were typically 40 to 50 yards high on the way to the rice fields so it was fun shootin. On the way back their craws were full, so they were low and slow. If you hadn't filled your limit by then, you could always fill it on the return.

Fun to shoot but damn they fly off the roost early

Very neat birds indeed. Love to hear them. Their range is slowly but steadily expanding. A good friend of mine is seeing more and more in NW Florida every year, not to mention all their population growth here in SC. It's a good thing you can only shoot one a day in SC for now.

Caught these two a few weeks ago there were about 10-15 that jumped up when they saw the truck but these two stayed long enough for a picture or two....

When I take friends hunting down here that have never been before, BBWD are commonly the first thing we target. They are a cool bird that I love to watch and hear fly in and out of roost, but pretty far down on the sporting chain.

They're gone come duck season though!

Had about 300+ on a pond late here one afternoon and we showed up the next morning to shoot and didn't see a single one!

Still public water in sc where you could fill a boat with these things if you have some sense.
Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

That rules out about 75% of the public hunting population...I think the BBWD are safe haha
