    I'm piggy-backing off of Caleb's bass mount thread. Anyone have any good duck mounts they want to share?

    Yes they are. We have a few places to go just for them. Usually limit out on woody's within 30 mins of the day. Beautiful birds.

    The pair of mallards I killed together are on the list to get mounted, not sure if a pair mount or just the drake.

    A woody is definitely on the list to get mounted. But i'm new to this duck thing, and its not like we are covered up here with anything.

    I love wood ducks but mallards are still my favorite to shoot. I'd like to have one of every species I've killed mounted one of these days, but I don't know if the wife would go for that. Be careful duck hunting can get very addicting!:)

    I shot a pintail saturday and i will be getting it mounted. I've been waterfowl hunting 22 years in WV and never even seen a pintail around here. We had 5 come in saturday morning and me and father each shot a drake. shooting a pintail around here is like getting a 160" whitetail
