I agree, mallards offer more diverse opportunities, here in the great lakes states,considering over decoys on water and more fervently , field shoots over recent corn harvests,those mallards are the bulk of attention. Corn fed mallards put roasters in the oven!
Pintails are fantastic to work, decoy well,seem to ride high, just have to work them.
Waxed full bodied teal in the oven,...hard to beat.

If you don't like eating duck you are cooking it wrong. Most likely over cooking it. There is a reason it is one of the most expensive things on the menu at the fancy restaurant and its not bc it taste bad.

Heading to Saskatchewan to hunt ducks on Saturday. Have waited my entire life to do it. Cannot wait. I have a great dog and love every aspect of duck hunting, other than our best duck hunting takes place during trapping season, and it s impossible for me not to trap. Every different duck, weather condition and day brings something different to the table and its impossible for me to say what my favorite one is. Divers in a spitting snow when its cold as (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), a big knot of teal doing their version of top gun at daylight, Cans coming down a j hook, big flock of mallards getting ready to pile in to a picked cornfield, honkers tipping and feet down in a field spread, snows and blues in a tornado! Its all a spectacle. God is good and as outdoors people, we all love what it has to offer. So many people will never experience what we do as hunters, trappers, fishermen. They are truly missing out on the best that life has to offer.

Have a great trip to Sask, Suchlike2! I went up there for many years and had incredible hunts.

Good luck, be safe, have fun, and let us know how it goes.
