Teal
None of the ones on your list are close to teal on that scale.

If they didnt go splash they'd be good for nuthin. Why do you say that? Gad's work nicely, they are a good looking bird, and they taste great. Gad's were loving the feedcall/chuckle last season. I have never had a wood duck work, they just fly right in or they fly right over is seems, but I do not shoot that many. Only shot a few redheads, but they seem to fly right in as well. Widgion are just as gullible as Gad’s, and taste about the same. Pintail are the smartest I believe, Mallards 2nd smartest, based on the ducks listed in the poll.

I voted for gads, seems like anytime they're around they come right in no matter what. GWT take the cake though. I heard a guy say once, "I love teal, they're stupid... and they're fun to shoot." He's right about all of that!

Cast my vote for the Great Gadwall! Only thing better than shooting a dumb@$$, is a dumb@$$ that can fly!

Gadwalls can decoy in easy one day and avoid me like the plague the next, I wouldn't call them the dumbest at all.

Absolutely!! Can walk by them in our big pond and they just look at ya. Shoot a couple out of a folk, they take off, give a quack or whistle and the dang things come right back in. Dumber than a stump!!

Black-bellied whistling ducks have to be the "dumbest" I've encountered. However out of the birds on the list...red heads without a doubt! Maybe they should be called blonde? I know, I know...lame!

Any divers including cans, rings or scaup i encounter in the n.e. Tex. lake area are not that wary, so my vote goes to the redhead.
I do understand any of these species can get spooky with pressure but day in day out divers don't seem too sharp.

Voted Gadwall, but was tempted to vote Woodie. Every one I have shot has let out a screaming note upon entry, giving me enough time to be aimed and ready.
