If we could stike a happy medium, I'll send mallards and you send warmer weather. -32 again this AM, high yesterday was 7.
I plowed out the back road yesterday and there were several thousand mallards on the drain ditch, can't hunt there cuz it's refuge, and they just flew a little ways and landed again. I did see some pteradactyl size geese fly over my pond whil I was plowing. Birds will not move any more than the bare minimum in this weather.
Agree with you Brian on the specks and tule geese. I also like the small races of Canadas. Unfortunately, where I live now we only have the gigantic ones like in this picture.
Guaranteed to be tougher than bridle leather. You can cook in liquid, in a bag, in a dutch oven and it is always the same, tough and dry. They don't carry much fat for their size and that is a real problem. They are better in early season before cold stresses them. Jerky is the answer.
