WELCOME to the site!

Nice mount!  What else do you have in that picture?  Looks like maybe a teal, and is that a shoulder mount?

Nice, and it looks like a fox in the background as well.

Thanks- thats an Aleutian Fox from Alaska.  I wish i had a good story for him, but i bought the pelt.  Also a drake widgeon...not my finest mount.  The shoulder you can barely see is an Iowa Whitetail.

This is a duplicate post, but thought it belonged here as well.  This was my first pheasant and my first pheasant mount.

Thats awesome Otto.  I've never even seen one before.  I had an interesting conversation with my Dad the last time he was down.  I had heard the story several times about how he would watch the woodies in the Spring on the Methow.  He was then looking at some woodies I showe him and he said those weren't the ones he used to watched.  Long story short, he used to watch Harelquins.  Again I have never seen one and understand they are quite the trophy.  Very gorgeous duck.

harlequins in the methow??

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

yep harlequins in the methow. they are one of the few waterfowl that migrate east and west. band reports show the teton area, flathead valley, yellowstone and such are breeding grounds for our puget sound birds.

they are a really cool bird for sure!

My canvasback story was.   I had hiked into my favorite intimate duck hunting spot with a bag of decoys.  I don't have a dog, so have my float tube as well.  I float tube across, and get set up in the dark.  The fog keeps drifting through.  The first mallard of the day comes in. Boom, my gun jams and no more hunting for the day.  I'm sitting there trying to figure out what is happening, and I hear a splash.  I look up and at about 30 feet, here sits the ONLY canvasback I have seen in this area.  Restraint kept me from throwing the gun at the duck.  I went out in the float tube and retrieved my mallard and packed up and came home.

I've got the supplies to mount a couple turkeys from full strut to flying, but I haven't had the bug for awhile.  I was never much of a turkey guy but killed a couple while living in the NE corner.  Now I just take pics.  Then again, I probably have supplies to mount about a dozen quail, dozen chukars, dozen pheasants too. LOL

Great additions guys!  Keep them coming.  My next one will be a pheasant hiding from a fox under a log I think.  I also want to do a Melanistic flying.
