Got an Abita KC buddy who has hunted Venice recently and he said there were thousands of ducks rafting up out in Gulf.On another note,should be seeing another KC buddy who is an absolute duck expert will mention drake mallard to him and see what he thinks.About 3 seasons ago,I shot a ringed teal hen,native of S America and the only plausible explanation was an escape of small flock from Slidell aviary where one flock may have made it to the Big Branch Marsh.On two separate hunts,I spotted teal that I could not definitively identify and shot one that had pink feet,never seen a teal with pink feet and we put pic on Sportsman,in fact Bayoubob was the one who ID'd duck.I had flock of six sitting in my dekes and ran em off not knowing exactly what they were and next hunt dropped single hen!!
