My dad used to tell me that Wood Ducks could fly through chicken wire and not lose a feather. I used to think he was crazy, but for the most part it is true. Wood Ducks inhabit remote backwaters such as creeks, streams and small rivers. These are among the most beautiful waterfowl in America. Their aerial acrobatics are on full display at daylight and right at sunset. These amazing birds fly swiftly and twist and turn while making the squealing sound we all know that a Woodie is getting ready to sail by.
We will go over a few things to help you understand these birds and how to kill more of them.
Another thing to remember is that wood ducks are the hardest puddle duck to clean by far if you are breasting them. They are hard to lay open, but they are a great tasting duck and just the right size. I know very few people who go out and specifically target wood ducks. But, these amazing birds are fun to shoot and awesome to eat.
Go find you a small creek or river in your corner of Texas and see if you can’t find some woodies to shoot at and get ready for some fast flying shooting action.
