Post The Five Year Wait is Over!
It has been 5 years since I missed on my last oppurtunity to shoot my first bull canvasback. The wait is finally over. He will be going on the wall.

Good deal on the can.

3 reds came into our hole in the croix Friday. We killed all 3 with one being a hen. Been wanting to mount one but they ain't in full plume yet.

Nice Birds! I've only had a chance to kill a cambo twice and missed both times, I could see them coming and had way too much time to think about it.

We got those things all over our lake. Used to not see them at all and now they are everywhere. I got one mounted just sitting on a log piece. It has red eyes and looks evil with that red head. They do eat good too.

Congrats on your kill. They are beautiful mounts with all the color.
