That’s it? That’s all the bashing he gets? Duck ID posts used to result in at least 5 pages of beratement .It’s a kinder, gentler waterfowl board these days.

I can see how some birds are tough to ID, but this one is beyond easy. There is a pic of it in the bird regs!!!!!
I agree with ensuring you're ID'ing waterfowl properly, but as far as looks go, It falls under "duck" in the regs on the Westside. Has the same body build as say a Mallard or Widgeon, so without actually seeing the color, which most waterfowlers know is sometimes impossible, you may not "KNOW" what it is that you're shooting, just that it is a duck. It looks nothing like a Sea Duck, so therefore if you're limit is low, or you havent shot anything yet, it's gonna get shot. Not to say WE HAVE ALL DONE it before, but if all of us 'Upstanding-20/20-eagle eye vision-top notch waterfowlers' DO PROPERLY ID the bird... chances are the guy in the next blind is gonna shoot it.Just don't see how when a guy asks other huintin guys a question, suddenly we are all Gamies, or Hunting Jesus, then vindicate him for the little things... just my
I can't stop shaking my head, every time I read this post. Shooting first and asking questions second is worthy of a face punch. Know what you are killing. I've not shot close ducks because I couldn't identify them (I'm still new and learning silhouettes.)
