Lack of love for waterfowlers

New Mexico.

I hope it’s going on the wall!

I had a hard time plucking that bird! I am over the taxidermy thing though and don't mount anything these days! Have some feathers to tie flies with.

All my big game mounts are at a friends lodge.

I get it. When I was young and single my house looked like a natural history museum. As I’ve aged my taste has changed and I have gifted all but a few mounts to friends or display them at my office. The few I still have are mostly ducks and geese, and there are a few more waterfowl species on my list. As far as big game all I have left at home is my bison euro and a giant black bear rug I can’t bring myself to part with. Oddly enough though, I love seeing other people’s taxidermy.

Congrats again on an awesome bird!
