So how do you count a bird such as the mallard/pintail towards your daily bag limit? mallard or pintail?

well on my card it reads a bunch of different duck and goose names then there is a spot for 'other' we hunt a refuge and one time a guy got type of teal the there are only 300 left, in the rainforest, the Warden found out what it was, reported that he got it and handed it back to him cause it wasnt a protected duck in America so it counted as 1 of 7 that the guy could shoot, he could of filled his bag with them leagally

You know why it's blue???
He didn't pay his bill - yuk-yuk-yuk!
I'll stop... Sorry!:)

RE: Hybrid Mallard?
 

I would bet that it is a mallard/pintail crossed back to a mallard. Some mallard/ pintailare mules and can't reproduce but some can. Only a DNA test could verify this.

Definetly a Mallard. The blue bill situation I have heard of before from other hunters that shoot alot of mallards. Rare either way though.
