Pat,

Would you please post some more pics of that gadwall/pintail? That is one beautiful specimen! Just curious what the rest of it looks like. Thanks for sharing!

They're all great. But what's your favorite hybrid and why?

LMAO

redneck ducks.... hey crow... i think we should maybe have some fundraisers.. like some cake walks or something like tom cruise did in risky business ... pool all the money we make together and buy us some breeding stock of redheads and ringnecks.. get them birds drunk and horney.. and produce a bunch off offspring and flood the south with redneck ducks..

yes this is duck would soon pass the mallard as the most desired duck in the ms flyway....

course the downside would be once all the deer hunters, coon hunters, & rabbit hunters learnt that their was a new species.. the redneck duck.. we'd have many many more hunters chasing waterfowl... in pursuit of the ever elusive redneck duck.....

my favorite.. is the the shovler (imagne that) wood duck cross..

that thing look downright funky... kind looks like it flew right outta a fruit loops box....

having seen them all in person i will say the woodie/mallard. the colors and th style of mount pat put on that one is awesome. it looks like he is saying.....yeah i am a bad ass come get some

Cajun, I'll get some more pictures and post them.

My favorite is the Mallard/Pintail for several reasons. I had always wanted to kill one and had mounted and raised several. My oldest son and I were in a friend's pit in Arkansas and having a good morning with the 3 other hunters with us. I was working a pair of Mallards when a pair of Pintails showed up and got cross-threaded with the working mallards. Pintails were closed for part of the season that year and I kept after the Mallards and brought them around behind the pit with the Pintails coming from the opposite direction. I wispered to Patrick that I had the Greenhead coming and he said "No!" that it had joined the hen pintail on the other side of the pit. We both looked at each other realizing what it was at the same time and came up shooting with one of our friends hollering that it was a Pintail and not to shoot it. I sent Ace out before the bird hit the water and we had our hybrid much to the amazement of the others with us that we had known what it was. Since then, I've killed several more hybrids, but none as meaningful as that one. When I skinned the bird I recovered several pellets. Patrick and I were shooting different loads that day and the secret will go to the grave with me as to who killed it.

Dang Pat I should have let you skin that banded mallard Ramsey and I killed this year at the lounge to see who actually got it............................... .........better cet it double R or things are gonna come up missing..............................

That shovler woody is the best lookin duck I have ever seen...Did you kill all of those?? Or just mount them for people?

Thanks for posting those Pat. I kindof wish I had asked to you post them later because seeing those birds makes me want to get out there now.
