So I got my results in from the few ducks I killed this year. What is the deal with the blue-wing/cinnamon designations? Is it because a wing is not sufficient to determine the difference?

What is this...you send in a wing and they identify the species?

Yes you get drawn at random to submit wings and they get age, sex, species of wings submitted to help identify what was killed in a given year.

It seems fun at first but it's a fricking pain in the arse. Got "selected" about ten years ago first two years were ok but it got increasingly difficult and you don't agree to one year it's several years once you are "selected". It's not something I will agree to do again.

I had to do a double take and make sure you didn't somehow post my results. They are almost exactly the same, minus the Spoonies

When you aren't having a good year, you shoot what you can. You can't tell the difference in a gumbo.

Having a helper made the work easy. I just cut the wings and my kids filled out the forms. My son thought it was the best thing ever. I could see where it may get tedious if you were killing 18 ducks every weekend.

That's weird. The biologist at Sabine NWR (when I used to hunt there in the 90s) used to have to look at the sex organs on the males to determine juvenile or adult. I see they've improved by only looking at wings.
