why shoot hens
Mallard populations are high, regulations allow for up to 8 a day. I do prefer to shoot drakes but have no problem shooting hens. My choice, and the farmer that grants me permission to hunt his properties thanks us for taking any bird we can on his property.
I’m also colour blind and often think I had shot a Drake and it’s a hen. Obviously on sunny days it’s not a problem but on dull days I see darker head and top chest with lighter belly. Dog retrieves it and I say thought it was a drake, friends all laugh....
I don’t shoot Wood ducks on purpose (sometimes think one is a Widgeon) but guys hunting with me sometimes do. Friend was thrilled to get one Sunday after years looking to bag one. I’m happy for him and seeing as it’s near where we have 15 Nestboxes it’s a good bet it could be offspring of our project. He’s a volunteer on our project, earned his wall mount!

Why not hens? They're not like chickens where one rooster will mate with several hens. Mallards pair up every season (seasonal monogamy) and stay together to raise the ducklings. I would assume when it comes to gender they're pretty even in numbers. geese and swans, on the other hand, mate for life unless one of them gets killed off.
