Hunter is a friend. Commenters are idiots.

Yes that's dumb. This hunt was already mentioned on the OB.

Those comments are glorious.

Poacher lol?
Posted on 1/15/15 at 7:37 pm to Larry Gooseman
Why is that guy accusing him of trespassing and poaching? WTF? Thems fighting words.

The dude is crazy. There's really not anything to it other than that. Property disputes are pretty common down in Delacroix/Reggio and dealing with them kinda comes with the territory of hunting down there...as I'm sure is the case in other areas of the state too. There are a lot of crazy folks who think they own the entire marsh. We had guys burning marsh on our lease last week, and they were shocked when we caught them and ran them off.
The hunter in the article and me are hunting my lease in the morning, which isn't too far from where that bird was killed. Maybe we'll get another one haha.

Just reading the comments it seems the guy posting has some domesticated ringed Teal on his property and the hunters have apologized for shooting one of them. Is this the case our am I reading this wrong?

Something does seem shady about the whole thing. Who knows

Reading it wrong and I don't want to get into it on here. I'll just leave it at the fact that the dude is an idiot.

Why? Because someone killed a rare bird? That happens all the time. The only difference is duck hunting is commercialized and publicized such that now it's way more acceptable to question hunting practices of an incredibly ethical hunter than to be happy for him for killing what is legitimately the bird of a lifetime.
I don't mean for what I first said to be taken out of context. I stay out of the social/online circle as much as possible because anything dramatic immediately takes the fun out of it for me, but I'm fortunate (in away) that I didn't make a business out if it. For those who are in this stuff for a living, stuff like this comes with the territory. People are always gonna be angry about how many ducks you kill, how many trout you catch, etc. Ty's a great dude. Young, really passionate about the outdoors, does things the right way, and helps people in their own pursuits more than pretty much anybody I know. It's a shame stuff like that happens, but it kinda comes with the territory.

after reading this article though, it definitely makes the ringed teal story seem sketchy. I mean shooting three different ducks, all different species, within a few days and all banded by some random guy in Arkansas with a net gun?
Posted on 1/16/15 at 7:36 am to Larry Gooseman
There is something going on, either the Mallard guy is nuts or there is a dispute on whose property is whose.
The one comment that stuck out was the
Can anyone validate this? If so then it may not be as rare as one somehow escaping the rain forest of South America and meeting up with a flock of green wings. I don't think he shot one out of the pond but one could have got mixed up with a group of green wings and ended up in Delacroix

I don't know anyone involved but jesus Christ "The Mallard Slayer" is one aggravating frick. Sounds like he needs to be punched in the face a couple times. If they were indeed poaching, the comment section on an online article is not the place to handle it

The relationship between the three of them is particularly interesting to me. If I were a writer, like hell I would let some dumbass leave comments that my friends were poachers (unless they were). I think I would at least say they were members of lease, guests, or on a guided hunt with a contact number if anyone wanted validation.
The net gun is pretty hard to believe. My question is, do you keep the "phony" bands?
Posted on 1/16/15 at 9:14 am to redneck
That net gun story sounds like pure BS.
Ok, so rich Arky dude is banding ducks every year with a telephone number on it, knowing what he is doing is illegal, and there is nothing about it on the internet? BS
quote:
"None of the bands were federal," Oliver said. "I called the number on the bands, and it gave me some recording about it not being a working number, so I started doing some research online. The bands were from Arkansas. They looked legit, but I googled it, and nothing came up. I couldn't find anything about it.
"About a week later, I get a phone call from a random number, and the guy says, 'Hey man, did you call about some bands?' I was like, 'Yeah, who's this?' but he wouldn't tell me his name. He said, 'I'm the guy who actually banded those birds. I do it as a hobby. I got a bunch of property, and I built a big net gun. Every time those big flocks of ducks come land on my property, I shoot that net gun, catch them and band them for fun.'
"I guess he's just some rich guy, and this is his hobby. He said, 'That's cool. I'm glad somebody actually shot some and called them in. That's awesome.' He said nobody else had shot any of his birds yet. He just started doing it this year.
"He said, 'I'd appreciate it if you don't tell Wildlife about it because I'm pretty sure I'm not really supposed to be doing this.'"

something seems fishy here...

We've been following up in AR as well, and no-one seems to know anything about it ..... especially a place where someone can catch mottled ducks, scaup, and gadwalls? And then somehow they all end up in the same general location in SE Louisiana AND get shot AND shot by the same guy?
There are too many incredible aspects to this story, and according to Masson, the hunter isn't being very candid about his "research" or contact with the bander.
All of you know when you hear unusual language, that something isn't right. Like when someone asks you if you "caught" anything when you went hunting, you know that person doesn't hunt.
You don't "build" a net "gun" for a particular site. When I get a recording about a non-working number, I don't get calls back from people at that number.
I can't be sure, but something just isn't right ......
However, I've received reports and photos from 3 ringed teal being killed in Louisiana this year.
This one was killed in Braithwaite during the September teal season:

Something does not seem right. I'm not accusing them of anything, but I would try and show my proof that I was indeed on a friend/guest/own lease. Just weird all around.

That's what I'm saying.....Especially if Hibbs is a state biologist.
No one is going to accuse me of abusing someone's property rights.
