First year duck hunter, have had some mild success with some ducks I want to put on the wall. Shot a nice mallard drake and hen this weekend. Looking for some ideas on a mallard drake/hen mount. Please post up what ya got! Thanks in advance.

Winner, the search is over lol.

Haha

Terrible

HA!

Deplorable

Natural.

That would be a conversation piece for sure...

Glad you had a sense of humor....I just couldn't resist.

I don't have a hen mounted but I do have my dog's first mallard and it looks a little like this one but it is layed more vertical like it's swinging around the corner.



OH and congrats on first mallards.

Do something funny...like them in conpletwly not natural positions wearing clothes and arguing over dirty laundry. Lol.

I know they aren't Mallards but I would do something similar to this.

I've got a pintail hen and drake that I'm going to have done similar.

I'm happy with how my sprigs turned out:

Got mine back last week

Thanks, I'm excited about them.

That looks really nice, and for the smaller ducks I think that looks great. I actually have a drake widgeon at the taxidermist right now, getting a flying mount on driftwood with it.



That looks really cool!



Very nice.


Went by the taxidermist today and talked it over with him. Going to do them flying on driftwood with some grass and moss on the driftwood. I wanted to be able to see the top of the wings of both of them, too pretty to have them folded up.

Maybe the next batch, first pair is too special to waste on something goofy. Don't worry though, if I ever shoot a rattlesnake I'm going to have it mounted with a chipmonk riding it. Just like this.
