I mainly hunt the east side and have not seen one in 3 years except at the check station at McNary.
The last one i saw out in the field checked my lic. but didnt look to see if i had a duck stamp. Then he proceded to tell his, obviously new partner, how to identify drake mallards by the wings, which is possible, but who would actually do this to mature drake mallards with bright yellow bills and a green head??? I am pretty sure that these were the first ducks the new guy had seen.

Anyways... both did not impress me and they were the last ones i have seen.
