Mallard Taxidermy

[fishing4sanity]

My son just got his first banded mallard back from the taxidermist today and we forgot to put the band on it before we took pictures. My son said he could remember how the duck was fighting the wind and coming into the decoys, he worked with the taxidermist until they got the angle on the bird just how he remembers it. When he got home his wife didn't seem real excited about another bird on the wall, then their 20 month old son saw it and started quacking like a duck and it was obvious the duck had a new home.

That is a good looking mount and I especially like your grandson's response! Just like my 17 month old son's reaction when he looks at my waterfowl.

Waterfowl mounts generally don't do much for me, but really like how that one turned out! Congrats!!
