How many ring necks in these pics?
Posted on 12/19/17 at 7:28 pm to CootKilla
Ringnecks have black white and blue on their bills, and a maroon ring around their neck if you hold it right in the light. Scaup have blue bills and no ring around the neck.
The bottom pic has a mix of both species but more scaup than ring necks.
Final answer.
Eta: We always called them all "black jacks", but this board informed me years ago that that was wrong.

Only ducks I can pick out of a line up would be a green head and a wood duck.
But for those in the pic... I don't see any ring necks, just dead ducks from lead or steel shot.

Answer is there is only 1 ring Neck in the pics, find him. And learn your fricking ducks you outlaws!

That first picture sucks. I can't tell what I'm looking at.
I see a shitload of ducks I wouldn't shoot myself, that's for sure. I want nothing to do with ring-necks.

This, cause shooting Scaup for a Ringer limit will get you in hot water with Greenjeans.

Had a few thousand, uh, ducks about 15 feet away from my layout blind. There are some ringnecks somewhere in there


Posted on 12/19/17 at 7:48 pm to jimbeam
Correct, the rest are dogris. We saw 6 million dogris, 2 million ring Neck and 5 redhead, would you not shoot?
Posted on 12/19/17 at 7:50 pm to jimbeam
Wow, awesome pic, but ugh ringnecks, find me one. Lol
Posted on 12/19/17 at 8:04 pm to jimbeam
I'd pack up and go home. Bunch of shite ducks.
Greys, teal, mallards, woodies, pintails, widgeon...I'll shoot those.
Shoveler, redhead, canvasback, scaup, ring-necks? Nah. I'll pass.
ETA: Well, I'd take the redhead for a mount.

I bet Larry Reynolds can't tell either, especially from in the air.

GPS coordinates? I've been in public and private all my life. They both suck recently.

Haha, man, I haven't hunted ducks seriously in a few years now. Don't have any good areas close by. Used to hunt Maurepas for woodies and Big Branch for other big ducks.
Just hung up on the upland game now.

The ring necks have that distinct bill color.
I may get downvoted but scaup/dos gris are actually pretty birds IMO

Scaup are very pretty IMO. Ring-necked ducks are definitely the red-headed stepchild of all ducks. They're ugly AF and hard to gut.
Divers are pretty easy to distinguish IMO. I can just tell by how they flap their wings and the speed at which they do so. We normally let them fly by and wait for something else. That being said, if there ain't shite else flying, their motors are getting cut off. I shoot to eat. Hate not coming home with meat.
