MOUNTS

Postby QUACKERS » Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:06 pm

I killed a black duck this past weekend and was curious what is some of your ideas for mount position?

had a black mounted similar to this pic above

head on mine was facing more to the side, but it was a great mount

I took it to Pat Pitt in OB and told him to do what ever he felt was "right"

that guy is an artist and the black duck is a beautiful bird

That's the one I like the best. :wink: I like sitting mounts better usually than flying ones but just my .02 :roll:

I took that exact pic to my taxidermist the other day. I have a mottled/mallard cross with him now and a widgeon in the freezer that is going shortly.

I also like the standing mounts as much or better than flying. Both of these boys will be standing or swimming if I can figure out exactly how I want the swimming mount done.

Recently picked this one up from Tommy Lovelace in Brandon. This is my first pic to post. Do not know if it will work.
