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.

Re: The Five Year Wait is Over!
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.

Re: The Five Year Wait is Over!
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.

Re: The Five Year Wait is Over!
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.
