What are the most common species you seen in north texas (hill county around hillsboro)? We have seen mostly ring necks, a few red heads, few scaups, and one wigeon. I'm just starting so excuse my ignorance. Do we get mallards or are they just not that common down here.

we have been shooting a mix of birds normally gadwall and wigeon, few teal in the mix.
i dont start seeing greenheads till the second split here in coryell county. did have a buddy smoke a hooded magansar drake and hen on a pond, which we dont see many of those.
last year i smoke a lot of wood ducks and didnt think about mounting one, now i really want one mounted and seem to not see them.

The depth of the water has alot to do with it. Sounds like you are hunting a deeper tank getting nothing but diver ducks. Diver duck will dive all the way under to get food puddle ducks (mallards) will only tip to get food will not go all the way under water. Try finding a tank with a big flat less then 3' foot of water and you will get more of the puddle ducks you are looking for.
