Title: European Wigeon Finished
Post by: WCTaxidermy on March 15, 2011, 07:50:15 PM: Hello all, Just finished this Wigeon up. This is an older bird that started showing some white spots on his head. The pose is an aggresive "comin in" to the decoys pose. Customer will be putting on his own driftwood base he collected while hunting this bird. Enjoy the pic's. John

Post by: 270Shooter on March 18, 2011, 07:05:39 AM: shouldn't there be more white on his wings?
Title: Re: European Wigeon Finished
Post by: WCTaxidermy on March 18, 2011, 08:19:35 AM: rasbo, you crack me up. :chuckle: 270shooter, good eye, normally yes, but for some reason on the european wigeons, it's about 50/50. Most younger inmature birds will have very little white on the back of their wings, but this bird appears to be an older mature bird. Thanks for the compliments everyone. John
