Nice hunt and photos, thanks for posting.

It may interest you to know that canvasback hens are not all that abundant. Drakes make up about 70% of the population and hens only 30% due to the hazards they face while nesting. My friends and I try to avoid shooting hens, especially canvasbacks. It's kind like catch-and-release fishing; shooting drakes really doesnt hurt the population.

Thanks again for the neat pictures,

CK
