Mark Thats a Black Duck right....sorry i need to go back to bird identification school...but i get Mallard Hens, Blacks, and Mottled ducks all mixed up...almost everyone else im good with....

[HRK]

mark
thats way cool :D

[Mark Spence]

That is Bull Black Duck....or Drake Black Duck depending on where you are from.


Barry:

This mount was done by the same guy that is working on my PA Duck Limit Dead Mount....and the same guy that hopefully will be doing a goose pair dead mount (sometime down the road....unfortunately).

[BigR]

awesome pics, especially the black duck, nice mounts.....

[DropEmInDE]

Thats really sweet you should see my boys Euro....its awesome...ill try to get him to post a pic of it....hes new to the forum...

[HRK]

mark
i hear ya bud ,we'll hook up when its time..........cool

[IowaMigr8tor]

Nice looking mounts, I havent mounted anything yet its just been a matter of cash to do it. I have a cross breed in the freezer that Im thinking bout mounting but IDK I'd really like to shoot a Mallard/Pintail cross like what was in DU a couple of months a go, that bird was sweet.

[CJSDuck]

I liked the mount of the Widgeon, those birds are one of my favorites and a that was a great pose! One of my hunting buds got a Wood Duck box mounted with two Drakes. One on top and the other coming out of the hole. Did an outstanding job with it and has won some awards, I will have to see if he can hook me up with a pic so I can post it.

I also like the idea of the limit of ducks and geese, I assume hanging like from a game strap?? One of the Scheels has a game strap with a drake mallard and drake pintail. Pretty cool.

[wooziegoose]

this was like the fourth duck i every shot. didnt see it was banded until i got i home and started cleaning it. the band is so old all the numbers are worn off.

Looks like you got the Hang of it Dave.......good stuff........

[Greg Ruark Jr.]

8) Cool..... Redhead ain't it?

[Richie]

thats a nice black duck mount, but 1 question.... how do you feed it through the glass :? I cant wait to get my teal back so i can make my living room coffee table.....hopefully it comes out as nice as that black duck :D

[PaStacker83]

One of the drake woodies Im holding in my avatar is at the taxidermist now. I cant freakin wait to get it back; Im getting a habitat scene done and it will be my first bird mount. Pretty pumped but it's probably not going to be back til mid summer. Mark- definitely diggen that black duck mount. Classy very classy!

[DK Dogs]

some nice mounts there guys!!!
I keep telling myself if I get a neck collar I will have it mounted

[HARDCORE]

looks like some good work on the mounts

[Green Reaper]

[kingkilla]

those are some sweet woddies. do you by chance live near columbus nebraska?

[Jclasen0124]

ERIC!! what are you doing?? nice mounts

[Green Reaper]

Checkin on the "Killin Crew" :roll:

Did not see you in any of those pictures, whats the deal?
You gonna come hunt with us next year?

[Drake Whistle]

that cross pintial/mallard is awesome!

[IowaMigr8tor]

You lucky bastard, thats the mount of the pintail/mallard that i want!

[Green Reaper]

Shot two in the last 3 years if you know what your looking for there are actually quite common. Will post pictures when i finish mounting the one i got this year.

[Waterfowlhunter2]

Nice mounts guys. The black duck is pretty sweet!! I also like the pintail mallard drake mix. Im still waiting on something sweet to mount maybe a neck collar or a double leg band.

[Jewelry Crew]

my neck collar is in process of being mounted right now...i cant wait till i get it...it's probly one of the coolest mount i've ever seen...but it's kinda pricey...but thats a moment i want forever so im willin to put up the big bucks for it

[Buffleslayer]

Nice mounts guys, I really like that blue phase ross, i thought that was pretty neat

[Killer Miller]

I got this guy 2 springs ago...actually maybe 3.

[Drake Whistle]

that a great mount there Killer, i like the positition and it muturaty

[take em 302]

beautiful probably one of best goose mounts i've seen

[Killer Miller]

Yep, best $90 I ever spent. The guy isn't the best, but he does quality work.....especially at $90 per duck or goose.

I was in his shop last spring and he was doing a full strutting turkye for $300......freeze dried head (the actual head!), legs, beard, the works. He wasn't fully done but if I ever kill a bird early in the season where the fan and wings aren't all worn off from strutting, he's going to the taxy for sure.

[Green Reaper]

Looks like $90. :shock: That guy is really cheating himself. Then everyone wonders why taxidermists cant make a decent living.

[Killer Miller]

Eric, the only thing I see wrong with my mount is that the legs aren't in the right spot and that's because my x-gf somehow managed to knock it off the wall and the legs got bent back. Man was I pi$$ed! :twisted:..........and still am. What else is wrong with it?

[rushcreekganderlander]

Here's a couple of my buddies.

And my favorite. My dad hasn't did taxidermy for like 20 years and I had this pheasant in his freezer from 6 years ago. Anyway he did it up for me for Christmas.

[Drake Whistle]

those specks are great, awesome double bander and mallard

[Buffleslayer]

where did he get the specks?

[IowaMigr8tor]

Sweet Specks! I wish we could shoot them like that in Iowa, the opportunity is RARE. I like the banded honker, your first band?

[rushcreekganderlander]

The specks are my buddies and he shot them in Louisiana. The banded goose is his too and yes it was his first band.

[Green Reaper]

There is a few things that are wrong but only someone picky like me would notice. Its one hell of a mount for $90. Who did it?

[farmerkuk]

Nice mounts!!

Specks are my fav!!!!

Explain if you are going to knock it!!

[Green Reaper]

Forget i said anything the mount is awsome :wink:

[PaStacker83]

$90, is that U.S. dollars? I paid almost four times that for the male woodie habitat scene I'm getting done. I may have to put some birds in the mail and give your taxidermist a little more business. I would have had half a dozen mounts by now if I could find a price around here anywhere close to that but the cheapest I found was around $230. That snow is an awesome mount and even better considering the price.

[BigR]

I agree, I wanted to get a black duck mounted last fall and they wanted close to 300, Will he except shipments, How far from MO is he? :)

[Killer Miller]

Eric, the taxidermist's name is Gary Mead. He owns Mead Taxidermist out of Montrose, Ia which is clear in the southeast corner of Iowa where my dad (and the entire rest of my family) lives.

Farmerkuk, no biggie. Eric (green reaper) is one of my buddy's (Jordan, jclasen0124 on here) friends from when he used to live in Nebraska. Jordan's dad has a pair of woodies and a speck done by either Eric himself or his dad. And I'm here to tell you THEY ARE AWESOME!!! Thanks for defending me though. :wink: I love this forum

[Green Reaper]

Killer Miller, where is Marshalltown Iowa that is were Iowas state taxidermy competition is. Iam thinkin about going.

[Killer Miller]

30-40 minutes northeast of Des Moines.

[HRK]

[PaStacker83]

I love the pintail! I want to shoot one very bad because that is what I want to get mounted next; I just don't see very many around me though.

[SoILKiller]

That Pintail is AWESOME!!!!

[Maulers INC.]

That pintal is sick

[ThePreacher]

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/sdhunterman/pheasant.jpg

[Green Reaper]

Definitly from south dakota arent you? lol. Is that a turkey or a pheasant? cool mount.

[ThePreacher]

Yep SODAK here. It is actually a quail. We grow em big around these parts. I wanted a different pose(2 birds fighting) but only had one pheasant big enough to mount.

[teamcarnageMN]

those bluebills are sweet!, i wanna get a bunch of divers and do something just like that

[Drake Whistle]

Those are some nasty blue-bills man! If I get lucky this year and score a red head or two, I might do something like that.

[motorcitymadman]

Man, that guy hammered that GW Teal!!! Was that someone you know who mounted that for ya? I would of threw a fit if I went to pick up the first duck I ever killed and it looked like that!!!!

[take em 302]

no it was a licensed taxidermist but i told him how it was and refused to knock down the price so lets just say he doesnt do many bird mounts for basically the reason that he's from my little town of smyrna where everybody knows everybody so i kinda bad mouth his business enough for no one to go there.

[Killer Miller]

I'll be down at my dad's in a few weeks. I'll make sure I take a pic of my uncles geees. He has a snow, blue, and ross all separate mounts but they all together on one wall. They're pretty sweet. One of them is tipping hardcore. I need to get a nice blue and a nice ross to get mounted.
