Dog Yeller,
The pheasant was my first ever hunt, I had been quail hunting foir several years and had just moved to Iowa. The boys who took me hunting didn't bother to tell me you wern't supposed to shoot hens. Yea I know< ignorance of the law, but that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.
The canvasback thing is one of my pet peeves, we went over on a young guys shot who is in his first year, us "old heads" were yelling but we also had mallards in the dekes at the same time. Honest mistake in IMHO but still wrong. After the shooting was done his dog brought in #2 extra that no one even saw go down, still wrong but illegal nontheless.
I can't afford fabs, and my wife would kill me besides so I figured if we eat the ducks today at least I beat the wanton waste thing. If only in my own mind.
I have a pretty good rep./rapor with our CPO and I don't think he would give me a ticket but it is his job and I/we were wrong so I just hope I kept him from carpal tunnel a little sooner.
