VTG U.S. Fish and Wildlife Sportsmen Waterfowl Hunters Black Duck Mallard Poster
vintage waterfowl hunting poster created by a cooperative conservation program to help hunters distinguish between black ducks and mallards.
The poster highlights the plumage differences, particularly the wing patterns, for identification during the hunting season.
Key distinctions shown on the poster:
- Black Duck: The sexes look similar, with the hen having a dark belly and tail. The wings feature no white lines or one thin white line.
- Mallard: The sexes look different. The hen has a light belly and tail. The wings feature two distinct white lines.
The poster notes that "New harvest restrictions are in effect on Black Ducks," making proper identification important for hunters.
The issuing agencies include state wildlife agencies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Sportsmen of America.
Poster is used, has a hole in top I believe from being hung on the wall. Also, some yellow as well.
