92xj Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 So, I am taking another bird in to get mounted. I just got my wood duck back, which looks awesome. My mallard is going to be finished this week and should be hanging on the wall by Friday. Tomorrow I am taking him my Pintail I killed today on the last day of the season. And I am going to have him mounted as close to this as possible, unless someone else has any pics of mounts that look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 nice sprig buddy! Thanks, he is going to be mounted in more of a fast flight pose than that picture. I will try and find another picture that shows exactly what I'm getting. I'm pumped! Cant wait to get him back!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Clue me in here, as I am clueless about this type of mount, what is the first pic of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrop Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 looks great Ben. you will have to show us the rest when you get them back. I have always loved the way ducks look on the wall or even hanging from the ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Clue me in here, as I am clueless about this type of mount, what is the first pic of? The first pic is of the bird that I actually killed. It's head is tucked under its wing to protect it. The second picture is one I found only of the same bird that I killed in a pose that I liked. The pose that I actually picked is a little different but mostly the same. The wings will be a little farther back so it looks like a downstroke in mid flight instead of a cupped up post like its landing. My mallard comes home Friday, cant wait!!

Dawg Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 So the white part is feathers......ok......I see it now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 So the white part is feathers......ok......I see it now. Thanks. Yes Sir, its the side neck feathers. Look in the second picture and you will see where they are located. Think of the first picture of you sticking your head under your right arm pit if you neck was long enough. Its a way to protect them as well as condense the size to place it in a freezable (sp) bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
