The first year I got into duck hunting was about 1994 or 95 anyway I shot a beautiful drake Cavasback. My duck hunting buddy Billy Williams told me he had never gotten one. They are not common in Kansas. I ate the bird 'cause my wife is allergic to feathers. Sure wish I had done the Taxidermy thing nowdays. Never gotten another one.
I shot a couple of Hooded Mergansers not realizing how rare they were, and ate them. Eating them was a very traumatic experience, and since they are so beautiful, I sorely wish I had mounted them.
HFS, I bet you fully understand why they are called fish ducks now! My old college roommate had to learn the hard way too! They are a pretty good duck for Gumbo though, fish and fowl all in one.
I would like a really nice Drake Widgeon. Never killed one in full late seaon plumage.
THAT IS THE QUESTION OF THE YEAR.EACH SEASON MY WIFE AN I PICK A DRAKE THAT WE'D LIKE TO GET MOUNTED AND LET THE HUNT BEGIN.WE HAVE A GREAT START. BUT MY TOP PICS WOULD BE.1OLDSSQUAW 2CANVASBACK 3CINNAMONTEAL ITS HARD TO CHOOSE JUST ONE.
went hunting with some of my buddies family in yakima but they all upland hunt and we would be doing both any ways shot a drake woodie and it was only a crippled so I ran after it normaly it would be the dogs job but I was forced to leave my lab at home needless to say I cant sniff out the muskrat hole that the duck went into so after an hour I was forced to give up. so I am after one this next year.

I think a scaup would be pretty sweet. scaup numbers are pretty low historically so it would be nice to get one while we can still harvest them
I would agree with a canvasback or a drake widgeon. I always tear widgeons up when I shoot them.
Harlequin drake.
My wife wants me to shoot a mallard for the wall, I would like to have a canvasback. But I will say this, I LOVE THAT WAMAN!
