Finally.....after 20 yrs
« Reply #15 on: November 14, 2012, 06:57:56 PM »
I've been hunting for 20 yrs.  For the past 8 years my hunting buddy and I have been heading east to try and get a Drake Redhead, one of the few birds We had not managed to take.  That streak has ended!  It was cold, snowing and couldnt have been better.  Will never forget it!

That can is an absolute stud. The redhead on the left is a good bird also. Well done, when I first got in to divers it was a touch of a struggle as well.

I got my first cans and redheads last year on the big river. Awesome birds and you got some really nice ones.

Cans in the freezer but to much damage to the redheads to make them mount worthy.

Once you have found them, they will be back. You will see more reds later in the year. Stay after it.
