Diver Duck Pics

[Flatrock]

Since moving to Michigan, my big game hunting has taken a big hit and so duck hunting has been the thing that has kept me busy. My buddy that I hunt with pretty much only hunts divers on the Great Lakes and it is totally different hunting. The gear is all different and we hunt from layout boats which is something I've never done. It is a ton of fun though as when the ducks commit, they are right in your face! Here are a few pictures from the past 2 years.

Divers from a layout boat is as much fun as a man can legally have with a shotgun.

Some are good, others just ok, and others terrible. Redheads, canvasbacks and bluebills are all pretty good. Most of the other ones just get ground up and made into sausage. Mix in enough pork and they taste just great.
