Bull Cans like that are waterfowl trophies in my mind. Awesome picture and awesome hunt. Good for you.

I’ve always wanted to take a can but never got a shot at one. I’ve taken most North American species but a can is the one I want the most. There was a reservoir in Maryland near my home and it usually had cans on it. I used to joke with my friend Jeff M. about making a suicide run on them just to take one. I used to park and just watch them. One shot in that area would have brought the police for sure and I would never hunt where I wasn’t supposed to. But those ducks sure did taunt me.

Great picture.

thanks for the picture,

never had a chance at cans - that is one species I would love to hunt, several of my old decoys are cans, they fascinate me for some reason

and nice gun- love my grade 2 short ten as well - way too much fun to shoot
