Doesn't get any better.....LOL

awesome ducks!! I would love a pin for the wall... Hey guys I have an spot but it's a canal , a big canal that ducks hangout.. if I take a duck down I've heard of using a fishing pole/lure to retrieve. My question is.. How do ya rig the pole so that it won't damage plumage on retrieval?

Use a pool net instead

Richard,

You can make your own plug with hooks, but a big topwater bait with trebles woods great.....Hooks won't do any more damage than the shot itself.

And I'm sure Brett can do miracles with ducks.

Steve, Barry,

Sorry for jacking this thread, but I was wondering what kind of care do taxidermists want done with birds for mount? I had a mountain quail and nice spoonie last year I should've gotten done but I didn't take good care of them after the hunt.

Jason,

Barry can probably answer this better than me, but I do have a few birds mounted....;)

I clean all blood from bird, especially if there's white feathers( and a little paper in the bill)…..I use a large zip lock and wrap them with clean paper towels with head under wing....A duck like pintail or mt. quail with a straight sprig....I put in a nylon and lay as straight as possible.....Then to the freezer....Once the skin gets in the 2 year range, and it starts to dry out. It probably isn't pliable enough to skin.....Again, Barry knows this stuff way better than me.
