Default Minnesota Canvasbacks

I had a fun day hunting on a public hunting area in South West Minnesota this morning and bagging a limit of bull Canvasbacks. A flock of 8, all bulls or drakes, came into the decoys and my friend and I shot a limit of 2 a piece. I shot my 2 with one shot out of my EH 10 Gauge and 1 1/8 oz of #4 Bismuth being propelled by 3 1/2 drams of FF Goex. The bull Canvasback in my opinion is a trophy in the water fowling world.

I love the big bull Cans and drake Blacks. We used to shoot some beautiful bull Cans in late January in Oklahoma.

Congratulations. Taking two cleanly with a special gun — it doesn’t get any better.
