It's the 4th picture down Destry. It isn't the Jurassic Pteradactyl-sized Can I got with you but was headed that way. It just isn't as feathered/colored out as what you see down south. Our greenheads are the same way this time of year. You can barely tell they're a mallard drake in the air because the heads are barely green. That Can took at least 1.5hrs to pluck as I stood in the marsh and I never did quite get all the pin feathers, even using a Leatherman. Everyone else in the group breasted or skinned their birds. I have infinite patience for plucking a good roaster, despite the fact that I always miss a shot or two as I look down to pluck....

Sorry Richard, I scrolled right past it. That is a good big one for sure, but still not as big as that one you killed on Mitchells Bay several years ago.

Destry

Defnitely not Destry. That was a Dino-Duck for sure. I'm surprised it didn't fly down, take my gun away and beat me over the head with it...

neat story and great pictures... keep em coming

Richard,

Splendid photos! A fine hunt indeed!

The only thing missing was a faithful retriever... Woof Woof!

Just spoke with my duck hunting partners. They're putting their moose away; I spent 5 days looking and no moose and almost had my plane blow away in 60mph winds on a ridgetop strip. They went out for ducks this weekend and could have shot 5 limits a day. The big northern birds are coming through. Hope they're not all done flying through this next weekend when go out.

we ll be lookin for that dino duck... charlie
