Thanks for being honest as well. I believe this is how most guys hunt. I just think it is funny when guys say I have to be 100% sure before I pull the trigger. Pretty darn close is where I am at as well.
I think there's a lot of guys on both sides of the fence. There's some who fill limits and really have little to no clue, other than the birds they've shot are ducks. Then the rest have a good idea what they've shot before they've pulled the trigger. In low light hen divers, except can hens, aren't the easiest to id. But who is going to mistake a hen ringer for a teal? Small young of the year widgeons, pintails, gadwalls, woodies, spooners would be the biggest mistake ducks in a teal season, when they catch a itchy trigger finger off guard and just buzz into the spread down the cattail line.
