Redheads are rafting ducks. They raft up in huge groups on the open water. The market hunters would skull up to them in punt boats laying on their backs low to the water, get in range, boom, couple hundred in one shot. Even today the redhead population hasn't returned to its former glory, but they're in decent enough numbers down here for a 1 bird a day limit. For years and years they were verboten, but they've slowly come back to huntable numbers through good management. It was mostly the redhead and ducks like the bufflehead, bay ducks, that were picked on by the market hunters with their punt boats. Geese don't land on open bays.
