Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I am absolutely certain it's illegal here. Could cause one heck of a quack up. |

| I remember once on a trip to the Big V, we were fishing a saddle between two small islands. I saw a mother duck and about 8 small ones. They were swimming from one island to the other. We were there for 5 days. Each day we went back, one or two of the ducklings were missing. This is a hot musky spot and you can only guess what happened. |

| Was up on the Big Chip about 10 years ago, fishing with Wayne Gooch. We went to a spot first thing in the morning, where he had raised a big fish the night before. When we got there, there were Suzy feathers all over the surface of the water. Wayne muttered something under his breath, and motored on to the next spot.
One of the coolest things I've witnessed in nature, was while fishing with the Short One, Dave Dorazio, hisself. It was towards sunset, and we were on the east side of the lake. A Suzy was sitting out in the middle of the lake, splashing around, and making a general spectacle of herself. A Bald Eagle passed overhead, circled around to the far west, and swooped down on that hen mallard, right out of the blinding sun. The Suzy never saw it coming, and was in the grasp of razor sharp talons before she could react. She quacked all the way to the nest! Quiet ensued, and feathers were soon filtering down to the water below. |
