    Re: Waterfowl Slam?

    I think it would be a good challenge to put together next season. See how many BC ducks you could get in one full season. How many ducks on that list are incredibly rare in BC? If less than 10 of one duck is shot in BC each year, I would say it shouldn't make the BC duck slam list. That being said I have shot 2 can's in 2 years.

    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

    I’m not sure what ducks are rare in BC, I'm sure others like Ian F or one of the other knowledgeable guys could tell us that - however, I Agree - to shoot "the possible list" in one season would be a hell of a challenge.

    I only added the cinammon and BWT. I think everything else without bolding is doable
