I've been told you need to hold both wings in one hand and the head in the other hand, due to the flappin and bitin they try to do. Watch out for the small toe nails, they can scratch and cause a nasty infection.

You can thank Sprig.

I'll be the first...

Share a couple of drinks and invite it over to your duck blind for a candle light dinner.

:lol:

Seriously, get a standing mount they look best for a wood duck.

My favorite mount I have ever seen had the drake woody standing on top of a wood duck box and the hen was a lil less than half way looking out the hole of the box. Had some of that mossy grass hanging arond on it.
