    O.T. somebody please explain what I just saw regarding a duck here in ft worth

    I'm in my backyard which parallels a 4 lane , 40 MPh thoroughfare. I see a big assed mallard flying his ass off next to a redneck in a pick up truck tooting his duck call.

    So help me God I speak the truth and I'm not drunk.

    Actually a fairly common sight ha. There are several people in the area that raise pheasants to sell to kick and shoot places. Inevitably some get away or don't get lost during the "hunt". If you are ever between Columbus and West Point you will see them pretty often. I have seen them a couple of times on the way to Tuscaloosa as well right around the state line.

    Thanks for the confirmation. I suspected they "fell off a truck" en route to a hunting preserve (or somethin' of the like)...

    I wouldn't mind them getting a foothold and developing a population, although their outlook in this area is dim, IMO...

    Edit... the two that my neighbor and I spotted were ~3 miles from the state line between the old and new HWY 82....

    Any game bird that roosts on the ground will have little chance of prospering 'round

    these parts. The quail population is evident of that. Predators, fire ants and loss of habitat have devastated this State's quail population.

    I honestly don't remember the last time I heard a quail in the wild. I was a kid I know that. I've got the windows open now listening to a whip-or-will outside.

    Prairie Wildlife raises and has a pretty good population of pheasant. They are a little northeast of West Point on the West side of the river.

    When I was knee high to a grasshopper, I remember tripping over a covey of quail, and gettin' knocked out when my grape landed on a rabbit....


    alas, neither are much 'round, anymore....
