Figured I would give a little product review on this as I have used one this season. They seem to work very well and quickly. Not a bad deal to carry one or make one yourself if you have a bird you want to mount. I used to just pull a wing feather and use that if I wanted to mount it. The quick way is to ring the neck, but as you can see from many posted pictures with guys with MIA heads, they get a little carried away on this step. If you need an idea for X'mas for a stocking stuffer. Might be worth checking out or like I said, give you an idea for making one or carrying a nail on you. :dunno:

I have thought about making one.
-
kinda morbid in my opinion. i just whack their heads over the butt of my gun.
-
I think too much thought goes into it... I just smack their head on something... much more humane in my opinion also... just like bonking fish. that way a bird for the taxi is in perfect shape!
-
My Swiss army knife has an awl tool that would do the same thing but I just give the neck a wring.
-
Might look cool on my lanyard...
-
I carry one on my lanyard and use when needed.
I will say it is a little morbid, but it does the job quickly and does no damage to the bird.

Am I the only one that needs an explanation as to how it actually works? Fill me in please.

Looks like you grip the "Finisher" by the round part and push the sperm tail looking thing into the spinal cord of a duck.
I'd probably fall down and embed it into my sternum if I wore that :chuckle:

Link has a video, basically what JonathanS above and H2O says below, push pointing thing into back of head and wait for bird to die.

It pierces the notch in the back of the skull. One quick spin make mush of the brain. Head hangs instantly.
-
I just bite the head to crush it.

I think its awesome! Quickly finishes the bird, whats morbid about that?
Every time I wack a bird on my gun blood flies everywhere and half the time an eye pops out or a beak breaks.
Morbid, what are you guys talking about??
-
that's what I was thinking, more morbid than bashing it on your gun or ringing it's neck But whatever works I guess
-
Thanx for the explanation.

Seems a lot less stressful to my future dinner. Head whacking seems to always take a couple of tries for me, and as mentioned, makes a mess.

Actually less morbid! A pin hole in the back of the head that no one can see. No ducks in a pile left with missing heads and bloody stumps from those that are challenged at ringing necks and no crushed skulls with eyes hanging out from those that crush or bash the skull. Leaves your bird looking like a taxidermy specimen!

sorry I was commenting on the post right above mine. I agree with you both

:chuckle: Fingers moving faster than lips.... :chuckle:

This is a great idea, is it more morbid than stomping and bashing a birds head in until the eyes pop out? Lol
Could have used this today I had to go after a cripple in the water today and took me like 5 minutes to kill it. Sucker was tough!
-
Yeah, it takes forever to drown one that you don't want to ruffle the feathers on. :rolleyes:
-
Looks like the tool would work, we just use a nail, used to bite em till the Bird Flue became more of a reality here. Not sure why but I'm not a fan of neck wringing, irritating to watch people overdue it I guess. One trick that works if you don't have anything handy and want to save a mounter is just hold the bird by the chest and gently squeeze the bird around the back, pushes air out of the lungs, ~1 minute and your done. :tup:

I have two of the finishers and I love it. it works quickly and efficiently. now all my duck hunting buddies want one.

This is exactly what I thought of when I watched the video. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
