Darwin mallards!?

<< < (2/2)

Reminds me of the hatchery steelhead blame game. Was this study done by tweed wearing doubles guys from the Wild Duck Coalition?

Curious, I went over the season notes. Keep really good ones to share. This season I shot 87 mallards which was about 3% more of the total bag than last year. 68 were drakes and I don't recall a single clipped curl. They did seem aggressive and ready to set the blocks. Maybe it is regional

Not long ago we would be very disappointed in those numbers even in the general public areas on the east side. Article claims 40% decrease on mallard harvest in pacific flyway and probably could be a higher decrease.  Hope it is a bad cycle but lasting way to long.
