Goober, I shot that duck. We looked at it. Said it was either a gadwall or a pintail hen... Knew the limit was 2 on the pintail... Seems pretty informed to me. I'm no beginner hunter. This is my 12th year hunting. I've shot a lot of of ducks but I am not a pro at identifying them. Saw the duck. Looked like a big teal or a hen mallard when it was flying in. Slayed the duck and realized it was a gadwall or pintail. Nothin u need to jump on my balls about. Every hunter that spends a lot of time in the field makes mistakes. Weather it be crossing over some land boundry, injuring game, or what not. I don't even know what I could have mistaken this bird for that would have been illegal? Didn't look like a bald Eagle or a comerant... lol

You people gotta be nice to others on this website. Arrogant people should go to another forum.
Yeah dude those eagles will get ya, they just like a duck coming into the spread :chuckle:

I always have a hard time with the North Columbian Emu. In the right light it can look just like a Purple Headed Red Wing Teal, which as we all know bares a striking resemblance to the Chilean Widgeon. However, the most troublesome duck, to me, is the Circum Navigator Diving Snow Faced Zebra Legged Blue Bill. On the other hand, those Goober Ducks will tend to mess up a hunt as well. They always swoop in and when everything seems to be going good they let out that anything quack and mess everything up. Once they start it seems like they never shut up. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
