That was horrible. I got an 81 on the foot test, through sheer unadulterated luck. 60 on the bill, 52 on the ducklings. But I did get a 90 on the silhouette, arguably the most important. Or so I tell myself. And I'm protesting the fact that "Black Duck" wasn't an option even once.

Delta wants everyone to get a high score. Just that kind of organization.

I failed 2 of 4, Bill. That hardly qualifies.

Some of them are pretty hard. Although outside of the ducks that we routinely kill I have zero knowledge.

The blue wing keeps fucking me up. We don't get them here.
97 on the bill test, 94 for the silhouette, and 42 for the foot test.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it is probably a duck.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.

I still maintain that the silhouette is the only one which counts. All the others, it's too late- they're dead and in your hand.

I don't really use any of those specifically for IDing on the wing. I think I go by body language more than anything, then color. Most of the time I don't really care though.

I aint never looked at a ducks foot before. That test was pretty stupid. And all divers sound alike.

Never saw a canvasback before, but it seems like they have a pretty distinct look. Same with a pintail. The only one that still scares me a little is a black duck, too much resemblance to a mallard and we only get one. I'm not gonna sit there and debate whether it's a gadwall, wigeon, or mallard and miss a shot though.

I haven't seen a Can either. Scared me to death when the knuckle heads I was hunting with opened up on a flock of redheads. I was yelling at them to stop but they didn't care. Luckily, when the damage was done we were right at the limit even though I never shot.

I'm not that good of a shot either. I've never tripled and only double a couple times a season. The only thing I ever find myself really watching for are hen mallards. 90% of the ducks I shoot are mallards and we only get one hen up here, So I try and save that for a "whoopsie".

We mostly see Gadwalls, Widgeon, and Scaup. No stupid limits on them, just the total of 6. The red heads were an oddity.

You would have a stroke if you had to hunt the flocks of black ducks I do.
