Like i said, i thought it was a canvasback. What difference does it make? The only duck thats not legal to shoot in my area of NY is a harlequin, which that clearly isnt. It was my 1st duck of the day, so whether it was a canvasback, a gadwall, or a teal, or whatever it was legal. I dont hunt over deeks, I just shoot fly bys. The area is loaded with ducks and I just hunt for meat, so I dont feel I need to be choosy, I just make sure I only shoot my legal limit of each species.
