Brad B... Thanks for sharing that. I have heard most of that said before by the waterfowl biologists that I know.

I think Brad brings up a good point.
You might have a spot with 5 nesting pairs and each bird had 5 ducklings.
With fewer breeding pairs, you may have fewer nests, but larger broods.
And with favorable conditions, you might get multiple broods in a breeding season.
I believe it is about habitat and conditions.
Just like salmon, ducks need what they need to breed and succeed.

I haven't read the article. But, I shoot hens. I shoot drakes. Somedays it seems like the only ducks I see in a marsh are ringneck hens, and if they're what is around then that's what I'll attempt to invite to dinner with me. I figure the biologists are ok with hen shooting then I"m good with hen shooting.
