Title: Got my First Woody Today....
Post by: gasman on January 30, 2011, 06:50:53 PM
Made one last go at it this morning with low97ram. He shot a nice Golden Eye and I shot my first Wood Duck  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Did not realise how beautiful of a bird they are, I think I am going to have it mounted (pic don't do the bird justice)

I know Ice, I know.........I would mess with me too  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:


Pete (low97ram) has shown me the in's and out's of duck hunting this year. It is my first year and I have herd him many times about wanting to get a Wood duck. He even has gotten excited when talking with other hunters and they mention seeing wood ducks in the area, and today, the last day of our hunt for the season, i nail one  :rolleyes:

Did not understand why he wanted one so bad, now I know, they are a cool looking duck. I have looked at many different pic of mounts using google, and the best pose I have seen sofar is the pic that Bone took and posted today. that would be an awsome pose for a mount.

And Ice, just trying to see what it takes (or post) to be a offical YAR member  ;) )

in my honnest oppinion wood ducks are the most beautiful of all game birds washington can offer, followed by the ringneck pheasant. my goal for next year is to end the season with a pair of wood ducks on my wall.

Your right Ice, As a Taxidermist my procedure is as follows.  When I get a woody, it is usually stiff as a board before it thaws all the way then it is nice and limp.  Then I inspect it and admire the beauty it has while checking it for any damage, AND at the same time making sure no fluids leak out of it.  If fluids do squirt out I make sure I clean it up right away so it doesn't stain anything.  Then I.................OOOOH I better stop before i get myself in trouble. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:  John

When I was a kid, we'd go to grandmas house.  She'd throw some seed out in the yard and we'd watch her bushtits jumping around in the grass... but they were very drab, gray, and little.  Easy to lose interest after a while.  I've always been impressed with the woodies and look forward to getting one some day.
