Three and counting!  Three mistakes as his inboxes will be full at each account with guys sending him PM's as to where he got it or the please take me as I have never shot one etc.  If you give the wrong info, which is any info your spot is wiped clean of them for the next few seasons!  Don't learn the hard way Cougar.  Silence is your best friend!

Beautiful bird and great photo.

Blew out a prop last winter trying to move in close enough to four of them for a photo, damn rock wasn't there 45 minutes earlier... actually it was, but there was more water there as well.   :bash:

They nest and hang out on rivers from here all the way to Montana. Only duck that migrates East to West :tup:

I was fortunate enough to take 9 in one season before the new regs came out limiting one per year. Mounted 5 of them.  I don't hunt them anymore as they are one of those species that can be wiped out by over hunting.  Beautiful birds!
