Anyone else feel like they don't get ducked enough?

People show up to Jeep gathering and just duck the crap out of everything in the parking lot (from what I’ve read the few times I perused the local FB group). The people that you see with a dozen or more ducks on their dash…pretty sure weren’t all one-offs.

I got ducked once when my JTR was stock. Added an Alu-Cab, bigger tires, and nice wheels (AEV) and haven’t been ducked since, lol.

In all fairness, I went with Sting Gray, because it’s the best color. It doesn’t really stand out.

I live in a collage town, Tallahassee. Not a lot of jeeps, especially Gladiators. I am new to Jeeping. Haven't seen, or herd of any ducks. I am kind of sad now.

I'm so glad this popped up... because yesterday I was pretty mad when I parked next to a nice Wrangler at Petsmart. I was in the store for 20 minutes looking for a collar for my pup, and when I came out... this is what I saw...
So they was low on ducks so you got f##### ;)
I am in Daytona for jeep beach , came out of a restaurant with my wife , about 20 jeeps in parking lot. I could see we had ducks on the hood ,pretty cool. As we get in my wife grabs the ducks and just starts laughing after reading the little tag. They were free admission to a local strip club.
So what night did you go. ?

I got another one when I was at Home Depot picking up insulation I ordered about 2 weeks back. Towing my trailer. Otherwise it would be a hard call seeing someone walking up to one of my Jeeps Otherwise, I've only drove my Gladiator 72 miles in last 2 weeks. :blush: and kept trying to find the clutch pedal, been driving my M.T. LJ more. :facepalm::LOL:

A few things:
1. I've never ducked anybody
2. Been ducked 3x in about 2 years
3. I avoid going out in public (there are people out there) as much as possible, so that's probably why.
4. I don't keep a stash of ducks on my dash. They get chucked into the back seat until the next cleaning. I suppose this lack of prominent ducks announces my lack of desire to play the game.
5. Don't touch my truck.


The child in me considered buying a bag of those Trump ducks and handing them out, but the prevailing adult won out. ?

My wife's JLU got ducked 3 times while we were in Florida.
Once while in the parking lot of a Chinese buffet, then 5 days later twice in an hour while at a beach south of St. Augustine.
But then - like she keeps telling me "my Jeep is prettier". I guess others agree? I can't argue (not unless I want a sore arm)

Pretty sure it was the guy with the blue Jeep that ducked hers the second time that evening.

My JT? Just once - a year ago. Of course, it's pretty ordinary, really. Nothing fancy or special, nothing that makes it stick out from any other Jeep.

I actually just got ducked for the first time in awhile. You can see the yellow ducky from a year ago, and someone kindly gave me a baby blue one. Guess it’s an annual tradition for me.

Hate to admit it but I'm 49 and I've only been ducked once. Recently though, so I am good for another decade or so. My wife ducked me once but I told her it didn't count. Curious if others feel like people don't give a duck anymore?
We’re in central Maryland. After we got our first duck, we bought a bunch and ducked 30 or more Jeeps. However, we've not been dunked since that first time. I don’t think it’s a Maryland thing. We’ve sort of stopped.

Down here around the Ft Meade/Severna Park/Annapolis area has a lot of Jeep's.

I've had my JTM 6 months and been fucked 4 times; once last week and again yesterday.

I keep spare ducks in the center console or under the back seat for Ducking
