Kyle Charron of Broken Bow is the first hunter to complete the Nebraska Duck Slam this season, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
The 35-year-old harvested the four ducks — a mallard, a teal, a northern pintail and an American wigeon — necessary to complete the challenge Oct. 9-10 in Custer County. He was hunting on private land.
The Duck Slam is a Game and Parks, and Ducks Unlimited, sponsored challenge. Hunters must harvest a teal — blue-winged or green-winged — of either sex and drakes of the other three species of ducks to complete the challenge.
