So my neighbor has gotten into duck hunting. This is his 2nd year. This morning at Lake Juliette here in middle georgia he Baggs a "Surf Scotter" usually found in Maine and Alaska. The Georgia DNR told him it was the first ever in georgia. He had several photos taken for GON. Here is a few pics. How cool is that... he will be hooked for life.

It's definitely not the first to be killed in Georgia but it's still cool.

That is uncommon for inland GA as Scoters are a sea duck, but they are commonly seen on the coast. Either way, it would be a surprise in a spread that far inland.

Since we are going all high and mighty, that's not a ringneck in the first picture.

All 3 pictures are the same duck. I don't know what he is wearing or about his headlamp. I will definitely tell him about the safety issue. I see where you quoted that post of the best of the best but where is the original post? Was it deleted?

I have never killed a king just a common. You have to go to the Bearing Sea to get a King and that cost some big $$$$. I may make it one day, but it will be one of the last birds I get if i ever get one.
