Finally Got Him Back
 

Well, my buddy told me a few months ago he had this beauty ready for me. It wasn't until this weekend that I finally got to see him again. I shot this bird hunting with my buddy and his brother on some of his in-laws' property in Fenton this past December. This pair of mallards had been flying around all morning, but never in gun range. They finally made that fatal mistake around 8 or so when they flew straight in, and I proceeded to drop both the drake and hen. My first greenhead and first double. Actually didn't plan on getting him mounted, but they had a friend that was trying to get into the duck side of taxidermy, and since I was a guest, I said what the heck, take it, but I want it if it comes out good.

Gorgeous duck, had 4 nice curls.

Congrats. I have a widgeon and a redhead at the taxidermist right now and they should be ready in about 3 weeks.

Man I'd love to have a Widgeon one day. Haven't even seen one on a hunting trip, much less got to shoot one.

Nice mount. Just got this one back a few weeks ago.

That is a fine mount right there. I love the color of those Redheads man.

Thanks. It was my first redhead. We don't shoot many where I hunt in PI. Only when we have high water. Had only one pellet in its breast.

He does great work and is very fast. Dropped him in December and got it back end of April.

Damn, that's not bad. I shot this one in late december, and it was ready in Early March. Just didn't get a chance to meet up with my buddy until this weekend.

nice mounts!
