A wierd duck

**Ty Stromquist** · 10-25-2006, 08:54 PM

Other day had 4 small ducks come in that looked like teal at first. I let them land. I shot once and got one.

Ended up being a hen ruddy duck. Never even seen one before. Anyone else get one? I didnt see any blue beaks in the group but the male looks awesome!

MALE

FEMALE

I have killed afew Ruddies over the years. Never actually had one come in and land or even saw one fly. Just be sitting in the dekes when we got there.

I dont shoot em anymore cause they kinda remind me of fuzzy baby Mallards and they taste worse than Redheads.

I used to see a lot of them in the sandhills south of Valentine hunting with my dad as a kid. They always seemed to hang out with the buffleheads. Darn things!
