Double Goldeneye Surprise
« on: December 14, 2013, 04:26:55 PM »
The dog was looking a little bored so I decided to go down to the bay and see if anything was around.  The last couple times down there, there were ducks well within range but no shotgun in my hands.

As we snuck to the shore, I saw a GE dive so we moved up and got ready.  When he popped up he saw us and got two flaps off the water when I thumped him.  As I was starting to send the pup, another popped up to my right, got about four flaps off the water and I managed to drop him as well.  Amber did a great retrieve on both birds.

To my surprise, one was a Common and the other a Barrow's.  Wish I could afford/have a place to put a nice duo species mount.  My first entries on the sea duck card.

Congrats!  Get those mounted!  Or freeze them for mounting later?

Thanks all, I think I see some curried duck in the future as I have a moose and my daughter's first deer to get taxidermied. I still have my first two Oldsquaw in the freezer from a bunch of years ago so that is probably a sentence of oblivion for any new ducks.   :(

Is it common for the two types of Goldeneye to hang together?  I've never really been able to tell the difference before now.

One of the guys I duck hunt with shot the same pair last year. He had them both mounted together. Cool birds but I hate skinning them.
