I think they were the tightest skinned ducks I have ever done, but man, they sure tasted good made into Salsbury steak.

I wish I could afford more mounts as they are gorgeous but I have a couple of Oldsquaw in the freezer and I'm trying to figure out how to pay for last year's moose and my daughter's first deer from this year.

Very nice Loki!  That would be a cool mount with one sub-species besides the other.  One of these days I'll have a mount done with Goldeneye as they are a cool looking bird.




PS. Don't forget, we still need to meet up one of these days.  I have a package for you in my freezer...  :tup:

They are pretty birds.  They were very skittish and never had an opportunity for a shot this year.

Cool. This is the only time I have ever seen the two together.

That's an awesome photo. To catch the hen barrows and common to is pretty sweet. I love shooting Goldies and they decoy incredibly well. The only barrows I have shot came into common goldeneye decoys so I would imagine they aren't to picky.

 Great photo catching a double/double on the GE's. With a decoy in the background none the less.
 Good job on getting the double lokidog!

 It's been my experience that when I started getting waterfowl "stuffed" that I can't stop until I get "our" slam. This year was a rest year (currently have 5 at the taxidermist) but, next year is gonna be more focused on a couple more for the case. Happy hunting!
