Re: duck bucket list? Every duck is special, especially here in SW VA, certainly not the waterfowl hunting of the major highways. For me, it's not so much about taking a certain type of duck, but more about the hunt and fellowship experience. I've longed for that special layout hunt with friends where the waterfowl were practically landing on us. Doesn't really matter if they are mallards, geese, widgeon, wood ducks or any other species, it's just the in your face hunt that I would like to experience. I've been blessed with seeing and taking a wide variety of species of waterfowl in my relatively short waterfowl hunting.

Re: duck bucket list? I have family in upstate NY who are avid waterfowlers, and I have gotten the opportunity to hunt with my cousin and uncle and their hunting buddies after Christmas for the past five or six years. I have had the honor of experiencing some action like you see on TV. I killed my first Redhead from a layout boat on Seneca lake on a morning which we saw nearly 20,000 ducks of all varieties. We have taken field mallards and geese that tried to land on our foot bags. We hunted from the shore line of Silver Lake last year and saw 15,000 birds on the one day they were passing through. And then I come back to VA and work my tail off to see 10 birds. I would love to shoot a mature drake Widgeon and a bull Pintail (have always wanted a dead mount of a pinnie, widgeon and mallard). But more than that, I would love to find a place in VA that would make the time and money necessary to hunt waterfowl worth while. As Dale said, its tough to waterfowl in VA. But the friends and experiences I have gotten to enjoy with them has been more of the hunt than the birds have ever been

Re: duck bucket list? Been trying to kill a drake goldeneye forever. Shot two and lost them both. They make me lose sleep.
