How rare is it to kill a Black Duck in the North Delta? A friend of mine got one Saturday, and only one person in our camp had ever seen one.
The land owner said it was only the 2nd one that he could remember being killed on his place.
How many here have killed one?

Up here in the hills on sunday we was working some mallets and there was 1 back in the mix. We wanted the black so we passed on some of the mallets that did light but ole black was smart and wound up let'em all go without firing a shot. I did get 1 last year though.

short answer, pretty rare!! If i shoot one, it goes on the wall!

I killed my first this year and I've been hunting ducks since I was 10 and I'm 44.
Oh yeah, he's at Featherworks now!

I saw my first one this year light about 100 yds from me. Saw it pass over. It seems like thaere has been a lot more this year taken. Either way, true trophy. Only been one ever killed on my place and it was killed by a guest yrs back.

Killed two a few years back, but heard of a few sightings of 3 in a hole we hunt this season.

Killed my first one this year but it was too messed up to mount

is it just me or are way to many people saying they see them but there too far to shoot?? hell half the people on this place post pics all the time asking is this a black duck and it just be a gaddy or dark mallard hen point is if they were so far you couldnt shoot it was prolly to far to tell if it was a black duck and prolly wasnt

me an my huntin but shot down 2 this year in the same hunt both going on the wall

I got a timber hole on the Tenn Tomm that I will just about bet you will kill one every hunt in January. Killed 4 sunday and week before killed 3.

Chopper you have a open invite when ever you want to come. Sounds crazy but after you kill a bunch and everybody has a pair to mount, I feel kinda of weird breasting them out. We did the same thing last year.

They are somewhat rare, but a proven consistent mallard timber hole will usually yield a few blacks every year.

I've killed one. It was my first duck to ever shoot. Needless to say he has been up on my wall for ten years.
