I agree 100% with you pntailhntr. I was going to say the say thing.

Has anyone killed a mottled duck? It looks a LOT like one to me... I personally feel it's just too small for a hen mallard... the feet are a little too dull to be a mallard. One actually had some faint stripes on the feet.

The Mottled Duck (Anas fulvigula) occurs in the southeast United States as well as the Gulf coast of parts of Mexico. It is superficially similar to a female Mallard but has a different speculum, bill color, and darker plumage overall.

I have killed a lot of mottled ducks down here on the coast, and that is definately not a mottled duck. It is a hen mallard without a doubt. Were they flying with another duck with a green head?

suzy mallard and wonda woodduck -shoot the hens i hear ya, it seems there is an illusive merg in there as well.

Actually no... they were by theirselves. I have killed enough hen mallards in my day to know what one looks like. I hate to say it... Even shot one this mornin. It was DEFINATELY something else... I agree. The pics do look a lot like a hen mallard. I guess the pictures just don't truly justify it. Maybe it was just one of those things a man just has to see for himself, with his own eyes, and in person.

And HOOD... You obviously haven't even been enough to know the difference between a drake and a hen wood duck. That is just as much a drake wood duck in that last picture as I'm sitting here typing this message for you.

LOOK BACK AT PAGE ONE YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDNT SEE THAT, DO SOME REASEARCH BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH

I definatley see a Female woodie in that pic on the first page if thats what yall are talkin bout.

You have got to be kidding...
Those are 2 hen mallards and thats it... you might as well
quit trying to make it into something else. I think you are
just embarrased b/c you are on a mississippi duck hunting website
and you don't even know what a hen mallard looks like.
And don't get P.O. at me for my comment, but what if i had put a
pic of a hen woodduck on here and called it a weidgon or something...i would deserve to get called out.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE there is actually an argument on here as to what kind of duck that is. That is UNBELIEVEABLE!!! I don't care what you say about it looks different in person, If that is the fact, YOU NEED A NEW CAMERA!! That is a mallard hen, take your beating, lick your wounds and, just my 2 cents, DON'T EVER, post something like that on here again!!! Lesson learned!!!!

1st- I can post what i want.
2nd- I admitted I was wrong already and in the OP I said that I could be wrong.
3rd- This is getting way out of hand and I apologize. So can we drop it now.

I think most of us are amazed that the other guy is saying that "these are definitely NOT hen mallards"
not so much at you....taking into regard your disclaimer in the first post.

Up At The Quack of Dawn????

Have you figured out what type of ducks are in the pic????
Just wondering???
I mean are you going to admit you are wrong, and that they are, in fact, hen mallards??

topwater if there ever was one. those are mallard hens and thats all. nothing special other than you shot it . hen killer
