We went out for a few hours this morning and managed to bring down 64. As we were picking up I noticed one bird with a crooked beak. At first I thought it was out of joint from the fall or something but when I moved it I realized it was born this way. As I was saying something about it to Skeetshooter, He picked up a match for it. It is odd enough to find one like this but 2 in the same hunt was really bizarre. Make me wander if they were both of the same family group and it was genetic. They have the same curve and shape to their beaks.

That is really something to shoot not one but two like that in one hunt, the odds are millions to one! You ought to get one of those mounted , man you are really on a roll with the oddities this season.

I think this same beak deformity was occurring with cormorants back in the DDT years. Or it could have been biological magnification of heavy metals from a diet of small fish.
