Here's a Mandarin from the Chehalis R about 8 years ago, it was hanging with some Wood ducks.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Unfortunately, it flushed while my "buddy" was picking up some teal so I let it fly down the river.  I thought it was just another woody and he had never shot one so I figured we'd float down river and get a chance at it, we did.  As far as I know, it's still in his freezer and he's even a taxidermist.   :bash:

You're welcome for that mandarin.  I lived near the chehalis and use to raise a ton of those.  Had a bunch get out of my pen back then.  Whacked a few of them myself.  Still waiting to hear the guy who shoots a drake ringed teal or a Russian Baikal.  The Baikal was spendy.   :(
