If anyone here knows where I can kill a canvasback, please let me know. I’d be willing to swap a deer hunt down here if you have a place we can go to shoot some Cans.

Don't see many cans down here in south Bama. Buckwheat knows what he's talking about with catahoula lake though.
Any particular reason you are wanting to shoot canvasbacks? It’s the only waterfowl that I don’t have mounted that I really want on the wall.

I've got/read a couple of books regarding Market Hunting Waterfowl back in the day. Back then there was a Plethora of wild Celery available and the Canvasbacks craved it. Feeding on this almost exclusively made them very TASTY! Brought the highest price at the Fancy Restaurants. A brace of Canvasbacks could bring as much as $4.00 back then when common folks worked for $2.oo/day. I wonder how many “a brace” is? I’d love to kill one too for the wall. The very first duck I ever shot at (and missed) was a canvasback. Sadly, that was the only shot I’ve ever had at one too. I’ve heard they have some luck with them in the Grand Bay area but I’ve never hunted that area. The parts of bama I hunt normally don’t get them.

This one came from Guntersville and took several days to get my first. Killed plenty since but very few of this caliber. Don’t know if there still some guides up there or not. We get a few on Pickwick and Wilson. I sold my boat because of the chaos on the river. Your best bet is to go west like mentioned. LA or TX should have some hotspots ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/9fsQF39S/IMG-0421.jpg)

The only one I killed was in MS on morning. 1st group of ducks buzzed the dekes 1 minute into legal time. We just saw ducks and dropped 3. Problem was Cans were not legal to kill that year so….. yeah.
