With only a nd deer bow tag in my pocket this year I decided to shoot the hell out of the ducks because I didn't have much else to do. These were some nice ones I was lucky enough to take this year, my goal at the beginning of the season was to get a nice wood duck. I just picked up the mounts today, I was really happy with them.

Too bad that pintail didn't have a bigger sprig!! Nice looking mounts.
Ya they're kind of tough to come by up north, this is the only pintail I've ever taken, I did see others this season but none of them had their pin feathers grown out either. I am still happy with the mount and really like it.

Very cool! I'll echo what you said about the pintails not having long sprigs in ND. We shoot at least 10-15 nice drakes every year that are fully plumed out but never have the long tail. The best one I've seen maybe extended 2 inches out. What part of the state are you in? I'm in Bismarck.

I've got one duck mount too, it's a RedHead that I made a seemingly impossible shot on. I was with my best friend who passed away some 8 years ago. It's special to me. Your mounts are beautiful, you have a good taxidermist there!

Great looking mounts! I keep threatening to fill a wall with all the various species but the wife is a little less than enthused. Maybe if I get the kids on my side...yeah that's it! Get the Naggatrons to do my bidding, sure way to a wall full of ducks!
