Decent hunt this morning

Dogris!

I think its french for greyback or something like that

nah, they are not the best tasting bird in the sky but if you bleed it out good its very edible

I call that duck a dogris as well, but arent they a scaup...not a ringneck, that is what I call a blackjack.

Or maybe I am using blackjack wrong.

I just know if they got a blue gray bill, I call them a dogris. And I think they make a fine gumbo or wraps.

Scalp is Dogris and I believe blackjack


I dont think there's any other names for ringneck

I just try not to shoot em. Dont have to worry about naming the damn things.

Yeah, the scaup/dos gris/blacjack are the same thing. The ringneck looks the same to me in flight, but once you get them back in the blind you see a stripe on the bill. The problem is that the dos gris has a limit of one and the jacks have a limit of 6.

I try not to kill them either, but have been taking a few lately on the slow days. Pain in the arse to clean.

At least they are easier to hit than the curve ball teal

my seven year old talked me into shooting one on the water yesterday (right outside the dekes) since we didn't have anything in the blind yet

Turns out, we have been screwing this up all along. Google ring-neck duck and taste. He is a vegan that many consider as good an eating duck as anything.

I think they even confuse themselves. A diver that only eats vegetation and flies with dos gris...shame on them
