What's your favorite duck?

What's your favorite duck? Accounting for taste and looks, I would say mine is the cinnamon teal.

Love the entire teal family from a sporting point of view (damn things are FAST), love the looks of a bull sprig, love the taste of a grained greenhead!

Couldn't have put it any better!

My favorite is the Northern Pintail.

I dont think I can pick just one.

Edit: If I had to I guess I'd pick late season greenheads nothing prettier to me, especially in the snow. Boring I know.

True that!

Hands down a wood duck. So fun to hunt, aerial acrobats, prettiest duck in my opinion and they taste soooo good!

Long tails are pretty amazing. Sitting on the ocean in a layout boat listening to these things calling all around you, is probably the most memorable waterfowl hunting experience I will ever have.

I had a last minute chance to go do it this year and backed out. Dumbass

Woodies. Prettiest and tastiest and hunting Adirondack beaver ponds in October is about as beautiful as it gets.

The one that lands in the decoys. Except mergansers, I just can’t bring myself to shoot a duck with teeth.

 

[Sask hunter]

All of them lol

 

[WestKyHunt]

I'll vote wood duck as well for taste and looks.
But I haven't had the chance to eat pintail or wigeon

Hard to beat a drake mallard!

I've only shot mallards so far but can't wait to get a woodie......I WILL mount that. They are just flat beautiful.

Yes they are! Have a woody pair for the taxi in the freezer right now

My favorite is the Northern Pintail.

Mine too. You have beautiful drakes, but a restrictive limit.
We have September "brown drakes" but a daily bag limit of 10, possession limit of 30.

I'm still pretty new to ducks, but I can't stop staring at a beautiful bull sprig. They taste good to me too.

Hard to beat a late season drake mallard. They are probably my favorite, however, ducks still on "if I get I'll mount list"(assuming good plumage) Pintail, Canvasback, Cinnamon teal. Crossed bufflehead of the list this year
