Greenheads are DEFINATELY here... All this water just isn't helping most people.

And HOOD... You obviously haven't even been enough to know the difference between a drake and a hen wood duck. That is just as much a drake wood duck in that last picture as I'm sitting here typing this message for you.

Actually no... they were by theirselves. I have killed enough hen mallards in my day to know what one looks like. I hate to say it... Even shot one this mornin. It was DEFINATELY something else... I agree. The pics do look a lot like a hen mallard. I guess the pictures just don't truly justify it ...

I'll see ya at the barn at 5:30 good buddy

Has anyone killed a mottled duck? It looks a LOT like one to me... I personally feel it's just too small for a hen mallard... the feet are a little too dull to be a mallard. One actually had some faint stripes on the feet.

We got em right didn't we buddy???

Try fewer decoys and call very little. Try pulling about 6 or 8 decoys to the edge of your hole put a little motion in one... a jerk string, mojo, quiver butt... just a little motion with a few decoys... don't cluster them all together though. Just think logically. Our ducks are VERY shy. They have ...

They have to be really young because they are really small... I'm honestly thinking a mottled ducks... VERY similar to both gadwall and mallard hens... Too close of a call for me. They just seem to small for a mallard. Who knows? All I'm sure of is that mallards are the most likely to cross breed ...
