What's your favorite duck?

Love them all but nothing beats a canvasback for me , mallards
and wood ducks are a close 2nd .
 
I used to work at Bowdoin NWR in north Central Montana. There was a couple coming out from the hunt and I met them at the boat launch. I congratulated them on the tundra swan they got, but was at a loss for words when I saw the 6 coots also in the canoe. Watched them load up in their UT vehicle and thought to myself, "now I get it". 😁
 
Awesome mount! The shovelor on a small pot hole Prarie pond in the spring on the highline is a tough sight to beat.
 
Here's my trophy duck from 2015, be neat to shoot a few more of these. I guess of all the ducks I've shot this is my favorite one. Shared photos of this duck before but some of you might not have seen it.P1010737.JPG

If I could shoot a bunch of teal every time I go out, I'd be a happy man. Great on the table, a couple birds per person, so you don't fill up the freezer, certainly sporty to shoot, and nice to see in hand. What's not to like?
