You have got to be the luckiest person i know Tyler!
If we had moved over another 150 yds, we would have shot 3 geese and limits of ducks. Next time.
I did some research on these ducks too, and found the same things you did. They are also found heavily in france.
I have spoken to 5 avid duck hunter friends and 2 taxidermists today and NONE have ever seen one in person or heard of one being shot in UT. I guess you should have not breasted it out. Oh well, it had a full pattern in it anyway. You just need to shoot a banded drake this weekend.[

Google "Eurasian Wigeon" and you will see the distribution.
