Post by: seth30 on October 24, 2011, 11:57:59 AM: I saw two of them in a creek when I was bear hunting last year. Besides that only pics, and drawings. Are they more common on the dry side, or other areas of the northwest?

Title: Re: which bird
Post by: jordano on October 24, 2011, 01:51:12 PM: Drake Can is my dream mount.. I'd also really like a Drake Redhead and Drake Pintail.. those are on the top of my list that's for sure!!
Title: Re: which bird
Post by: 270Shooter on October 24, 2011, 02:08:13 PM: Theres so many there it would be hard to choose one for me. I think it really depends on what the condition of the bird that you want to have mounted. I personally think a big drake widgeon is about the prettiest duck there is, I would really like a drake widgeon and a drake pintail in a deadmount together. Of course it would be really hard to not mount a can if i shot one, but if its a young one or a hen I'd just eat (they're supposed to be great)

Post by: jackmaster on October 24, 2011, 02:12:34 PM: can you throw a wood duck option up there, thats what i would like to get mounted, my son got a awesome male for his first duck, we put it in the freezerinside of a nylon and wrapped it in a tshirt, we wanted to get another male to go with it and are piece of crap garage freezer went south and i didnt notice it until everything was ruined i took it to fred peters anyways and he confirmed that it was wasted, he asked to keep it which was fine he was able to use the feathers for somethn, but still it wasnt one of my prouder moments

Post by: vandeman17 on October 24, 2011, 02:34:08 PM: I have a pretty cool sprig mount on my wall. I think I posted pictures of it somewhere on here. I also have a bull canvasback in the freezer that I have yet to mount but should probably get it in soon.

Post by: WCTaxidermy on October 24, 2011, 11:08:36 PM: Seth, don't forget the sea ducks, A fully plummed out Harlequin is awesome. So are the surf scoter and white winged scoter. And above all don't forget to add the grand daddy of them all........ The King Eider. What I would do to get my hands on one of them.
