I can id birds with the best of them. I would venture to say that I kill more ducks and geese than 99% of the guys out there.
But…..I aint talking about me. I am talking about the average Mn waterfowler….who is lucky to kill 10 ducks a year…and shoots whatever flies by. When they get them in hand….unless it is a drake mallard….they have a hard time telling what it is.
It just the way it is. Just talk to some COs and they will tell you.
