USFWS Survey
Last year I was chosen by the USFWS to submit wings from the ducks I killed. They use the data to determine sex, species and age of the harvest from different areas of the country. Below are the results of 16 birds I submitted from our trip to Passe a L'outre last season. 12/26 - 12/28
Plaquemines Parish LA
3 Gadwall Adult Males
4 Gadwall Immature Males
2 Green Winged Teal Immature Male
3 Green Winged Teal Immature Females
1 American Wigeon Adult Male
1 American Wigeon Adult Female
1 Mottled Duck Immature Male
1 Mallard Immature Female
It was fun being able to participate in the duck harvest survey and I was notified I was picked again this year.
Though I'm not too sure about their sexing. The only mallard I shot was a greenhead. Maybe she was a cross dresser.
