Not mine but a picture of one at the Texas Taxidermy show this last summer. I believe it was done by John Paul Barber.

Cool pics! I think I will go with a flying pose as it seems to show most of all the different colors

Do you have pics of the spoonie you shot? Full plumed drakes this timeof year are not common. They typically don't full plum till mid late jan a lot like blue wing real. You sure it's full plum? Hate for you to waste 300 on a half plum bird.

He is in the freezer now, but did not have a full green head...it looked half brown and half green. The wings had blue streaks, and his belly was white with brown specs...it was my first spoonie, and I dont get to hunt ducks as often as I'd like. Still looked good to me!

That's not full plumage and unless you really want to waste the money. Otherwise just wait in due time you will get one. But If you decide to mount it then get a good bird taxi.
