Why aren't you hunting the whistling ducks?

They are not on the top of my list of birds that I want in my bag. We do so well with Greys, RedHeads, Mallards, Woodies, and Teal. We have always let them pass and now they are a problem that will be taken care of if the “BAG BIRDS” are not flying this weekend.

Are these the Mexican whistlers with big ol' feet that you talking about?

Black-Bellied Whistling Duck, look them up.

yeh i just looked em up i always called em tree ducks didnt know the actual name thought it was mexican whistlers. Shot a few of them i think 3 years ago at catahoula lake. Was the only time ive seen them.

They will also nest in tree cavities so yes the do compete for nesting spots. They eat just fine shoot them up!

Shoot em up! The couple I've tried were mighty fine pot roasted! It wouldn't surprise me if it were true that they can force the woodies out of the area.

Good Huntin!

if u dont feel like shooting them ill take them off your hands

I can use some pretty birds for my studio display if you get any and dont want to mess with them. I do bird taxidermy.
