I'm sure you've seen them in Montana. They're those funny looking mallards you guys shoot down by the waste treatment plant in Missoula. ;)

You are missing out! Most are just a hair smaller then a widgeon.


Yet another bird I don't see around here. I mainly shoot at Mallards, Sprigs, Teal, and Goldeneyes. If I'm lucky, every now and then a buffle head.

Golden eye size. Only in puddler form.

More like a jumbo teal with long neck[/quote]
Splittin hairs[/quote]

I think you meant "slippery slope" Nuff.
