Whoa! Awesome, a Stormy. No doubt he's the one going to the taxi. Looks like a nice pintail drake too! I'm jealous.

Hopefully the euro cleans up good.  Always a nice little bonus.

Yep it's hog of a Euro! He looks kinda beat up but actually cleaned up real well.  I know there not like 1 in a million rare, but rare enough that I'd be surprised if I ever shot another one. I'm having him along with the real nice drake American he was with mounted together. Had a lot of doubles, but this was definitely the coolest!   :hunt2:

That's killer! I hear John and his daughter do great work from some of the folks that have hunted with me. Never seen any of his stuff in person, but that sure looks top notch. Does anyone know if he's a member here by chance?

Rare enough you probably won't shoot another.   :(  I've only seen one in almost 30 years of duck  hunting the West coast.

Nice bird TR.   :tup:
