Kind of a weird one???
« on: January 06, 2009, 09:05:14 PM »
Went hunting with two of my buddies today in Ferndale. Had a small flock of wigeon fly by and I whacked this one out of the flock. I've shot alot of wigeon, but never a Eurasian Wigeon. Pretty neat. I might have this one stuffed.

Or you could go to DU and look it up there also.

Dang... guess I should have read... you already new it!  Nice bird!

Get that thing stuffed, you may regret it later on. I have been wanting one of those forever. Widgeon are my favorite duck to shoot and the European widgeon are a true trophy.

Their a nice trophy to get.  We shot one last week.  My buddy wanted it, so I think he is going to stuff it.  We shoot a few each year.
Cut em!

Nice eurasian wigeon. They are not very common. You'd be crazy not to have it mounted. Here is one that I did for Skybusterbo last year.
