Shot more mallards this week than I did all season last year, which is only 8 so it's not that many lol, but I didn't see it on any of them.

Any creature in my vicinity that possesses an explosive penis is going to be killed.

I've killed 2 mallards with it, a spoonie and a teal. Never even heard of it until this year. Had to look it up to figure out what it was. From 0 to 4 I'd say is a pretty dramatic increase but it could just be a coincidence

About 50% of the spoonies we kill have it. I've also seen it in Teal, Pintail, and Mallards this year.

Killed almost 40 mallards, a dozen spoonies and a dozen teal with zero rice breast so far. Last year was bad for teal...probably had a dozen with it in North Texas.

We have seen 2 shovelers so far with rice breast. Both on the same hunt but different flocks...

We are running about 25%.
So since I've killed 114 ducks thus far, and I've had 4 with it only 3.5% of my birds were infected with the parasite. 25% is pretty high!!!
