Went out for the opener this past weekend and did decent. 2 ducks and a goose on saturday night and me and 2 buddies shot 6 on sunday morning. All of the ducks we shot were mallards, and all but 2 were hens. Ever single one of the drakes were identical to hens in flight, and when we picked them up you could probably count the number of green feathers on there heads on one hand... Are all drakes like this at this time of year? Right after they molt? It makes me think they're all juveniles with their lack of curles....you would thinkthere has to be some feathered out drakes somewhere out there. It just is a little dissapointing walking out to pick up a duck and knowing that, hen or drake, it'll look basically the same.
