Ringers will build up in number here, in the latter part of the season, on farm ponds. They're great flying targets, and I make no apologies for not enjoying eating them. But, there are some neighbors just down the road who will take all I bring them.
I ate ringnecks when I was younger ...............until I found out how much better acorn fed woodies, and corn fed teal are. Woodies are pretty ducks, and fine eating, but for many years I under-appreciated them, in my more salad days, for want of green timber mallards. I appreciate them more now, in my later years. There is no sportier duck shooting than a woodie diving into a beaver pond at first legal shooting light, twisting and jiving through the trees. I am humbled every season by them.
