Pintails, wigeons and black ducks
I havent seen a pintail in a few years and guess what, after the seasons been over a month they decided to move into the area. Nice long sprig on this guy.
Also we get a ton of wigeon but they never seem to be in full colour yet, this guys chest was a nice brownish red and nice white strip on the head.
Its dam near impossible for true black ducks to be in the pacific flyway as they stick to the east coast, even in the prairies its very rare to even see one, but we've seen two mallards with either genetic glitches or hybrids, could be the same one but it was a month ago, the blue bill sure looks funny, and the head is black but in the sun and you can see a green tint to it so we're assuming its a drake too. My dad shot one a couple years back but its feet and bill were black, where as true blacks have red feet. More and more genetic freaks I guess.

1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
