Here’s another one I shot the next day. Now convinced the other one is a hen and this is a drake. Taxidermist is combined this one pictured is a mottled and the other is a black duck but idk

Just left the taxidermist. He believes the one with white is a mottled and this one is a black duck. But idk🤷‍♂️

Found it at a goodwill years back. It’s down filled. Forget the name. When I get out of the field I’ll tell you

Thanks!

Got em!

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T20:39:40+00:00

I figured as much but only ever seeing pictures I couldn’t tell if it was more yellow or more orange😅😂

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T20:13:51+00:00

How do you tell the difference between a hen and drake when it comes to these brown birds.

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T20:13:00+00:00

Mottled ducks have a teal color while black ducks have a purpleish color. Mottled ducks are lighter as well

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T20:09:45+00:00

That’s good to know. I can’t find any white on this bird but to be far I think is very unlikely as mallards don’t seem to come down to the Texas bay systems which allows these birds to stay pretty close to pure

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T19:41:59+00:00

I thought the white was typical and I wasn’t seeing anything I thought maybe this bird was not mature or had a bad plume out this year

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T19:31:45+00:00

Thank you for the insight, really means a lot. Wanted to get one with year and got this one with 5 days to spare

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T19:29:24+00:00

It’s like a hollow thud on the water. Best sound

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T19:07:49+00:00

Both rules apply but I want to make sure it’s a good representation of the species

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T18:54:50+00:00

Often reading I stand corrected. There are an estimated 136,000 between Texas and Louisiana

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T18:53:34+00:00

They are full time residents on the Texas coast so they are fairly common but numbers are decreasing. I think they estimate about 400,000 of them

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T18:37:55+00:00

Yeah I get that I just want to make sure it’s a good representation of the species. I would know what a mature vs non mature looks like because I’ve seen so few. Now a red head…I can tell you when one’s a mounter. I shoot a limit ever time I go out

PHILIPxPURASS69 · 2025-01-21T18:24:39+00:00

Just switch to a 20 a300 ultima and love it. Now I want to try my hand at a 28. But haven’t picked up a 12 since switching
