What kind of duck is this?

Hen goldeneye.

Nice kill! I've seen one hen killed in my area. No drakes.

The one and only goldeneye I killed, came off one of your ponds west of Catfish road, several years ago, loved hunting that shallow pond!

I remember that. Was it a drake?

It was also a hen, a wk before that, grey killed one on the same pond

We had a drake buzz the spread two yrs ago while we picked up the decoys after a catfish pond hunt. Lucky for him we had already limited out!! Also, about 15 yrs ago we shot a hen while diver hunting down here on the Coast.

Shot a goldeneye last year in a rice field in Belzoni. It was a hen also, flying solo.

Shot a hen flying at first light with a group of woodies five years ago

So much for voluntary restraint with this bunch.

Not a greenhead…automatically means its a scrap duck.

buddy in our group killed one at a local wma last year as well. this was a hen as well.

Hen Goldeneye as mentioned. Somewhat unique for these parts. My dad is up in Alberta now with work, and 2 Sunday's ago, he was covered up in Goldeneyes. They are much more common in the western flyways.

We see a few of them down here. Not many.
