Definately when I shot 2 pintail drakes on a jump shoot, 1 fell and the other started to but glided, so i put another load of 3" number 2's into him and he still didn't fall. I continued on with my walk and went over to where he would have fallen if he was going to at all. So i was walking around in that area and while watching my footing so I didn't slip in the mud and fall into the water, I saw the white of his belly. He had walked up onto the bank and flopped over dead as a doornail. I thought it was pretty dang cool.

That's my coolest so far.... one of 2 ever for me,  I'm still looking for the Bull Canvasback though.  I'm going to have to target them specifically next season.

How about a real cool goose from this season?  Here's an Eaglehead Blue that I'm having mounted.  The wing feathers on these things are amazing.  The bird in the first picture is the one I'm having mounted.

Drake canvasback/redhead hybrid or drake mallard/bluewing teal hybrid.  Take your pic.  Only had the diver mounted as the greenhead/teal was too shot up.

You have to atleast have pics of these ducks, I've never seen a mallard/bluewinger or a redhead/can

Coolest duck I have ever shot so far is this Shoveler Drake. It was the one duck that I set out to kill for the wall this year and I managed to put one down with not an ounce of damage done to any feathers. Can't wait to get this back from the taxi.

Man that's a hard call! Probably going to have to go with Eurasian Wigeon, that's the bird i was most excited about. Second and third place goes to my Harlequin and Long-Tailed.

My coolest duck was a pin tail drake, but what what made it so cool was how I got it:

My buddy and I were still putting out dekes when I saw some ducks swinging in.   I didn't bother to tell my buddy they were coming.   I just slipped a couple shells in and when they got close I pounded one.   He was dead and falling, and of course my buddy yanked up at the shot.............   just in time for the dead duck to nail him in the chest.

I still laugh when I think of the look on his face when he got duck slapped.
