Canvasbacks

[Steve Kleist]

Steven and Daryl,
Everyone has a favorite table duck.
Back in the early 1900's the market hunters could sell a canvasback in the Chicago markets for $2.....consider that a new vehicle back then cost about $200. Someone must have thought they were pretty good!
Both cans and redheads are exceptional.
Best Fishes,

Thanks guys. Here in NH our best eating duck, according to me, is our early season wood ducks that have been feeding on acorns. Very nice.
