Leo Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Sure looks like coots to me in the bottom picture. Alabama Mudchickens! Were you hunting near B'ham I was just there two days ago? Congrats on the Blackduck. I've never killed one in Alabama. Two banded mallards too it looks like you had a heck of a day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98chevy Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Those are coots. We litterly had about 300 of them in our little pool we where hunting. The black duck was in the middle of them so when we saw it and thought it was a mallerd i let it get clear and as it rose up to fly boom boom. MY brother(the true duck hunter of the famly) and his buddy whos hunted there his whole life had never seen a black duck. We hunt on the tombigbee river. Public waters.(sometimes its a night mare) So its about 2 hours from birmingham but my brother lives in tuscaloosa so i stay with him and its about 45 min. from his house. We get out there about 3 A.M. and camp out in our spot. like the saying goes early bird gets the worm. Over all though we had alot of fun and I know for a fact we wouldnt of done near as good with out my brother. He some how turns them things when there a mile high. And to this day i know nothing more exsiting then watching some birds work your decoys over nice and good then finnaly gliding down. Well im hitting the sack in a minute. its gunna be hot tommrow but we no a roosting spot so we should have a good hour shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Definitely, some good duck hunting to be had on the Tombigbee and Tennessee river around Alabama. I cut my duck hunting teeth hunting those areas, I know you're having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Congrats on the black duck. I killed my first one about 2-3 years ago in Bama. It can be good duck hunting in Alabama if all the planets are aligned just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
