[QUOTE="RUGER, post: 4948880, member: 275"] This discussion came up with a friend of mine last year and I happened to think about it this morning. I see lots of comments on here as well as on facebook about the hero shots and how it pains some people. Personally I like to see a shot of ducks lined up on a tailgate or on the deck of a boat. It helps bring back memories of that particular hunt for me when I go back through the pictures I have collected over my very short time as a waterfowl hunter. This discussion lead to the question, "How many ducks do you think really get eaten every year?" A popular belief is that many duck hunters now days get their 5 or 15 man limits then do the grip & grin and then stand around and start asking, you want these ducks? Within my group that I hunt with it is usually not a big deal because we normally don't have but about 5 ducks so we are just talking about like 15 minutes of your time to clean them. :rotf: Many people believe a large majority of ducks killed every year end up being thrown out after the pictures and maybe the plucking of the tail feathers off the drakes. What approximate percentage of waterfowl do you think ends up in a ditch somewhere, tossed aside on the trip home or on the way back to the blind the next morning? [/QUOTE]
