    Beautiful birds, I love both of those winners. Some day I will get lucky and see a pintail!

    Finally got to do a little work for myself. This is actually the first duck I have done for myself. After 25 years as a taxidermist you would think I could get to some of my own stuff a little faster.

  5. Here's some I've done over the last month. The gadwall is mine. The other three are going out the door this week.

    The 1st pintail was a kids 1st duck.

    +1 on what Pat said. Thanks JP.

    Pat, love the seaducks...especially love the action on that Squaw!!! Everyone have a great week. I will be at baseball games all week. ;D

    P.S. Pat, Please UPS those Pintails to my home address, if you can't find a home for them. I'm sure they would look good in my trophy room. :-*

  14. Pat, that deadmount is off the hook. Good job.

    Congratulations Pat and Jeff, you guys really deserved it. I agree with Milo, I have a pair of drake pinnies (personal birds) that have been waiting for the right idea. I don't have a dead mount on display yet, so that's clinched! Also, I've been back and forth on a pair of drake squaws. Standing or flying... Done! Flying it is! Beautiful work and nice pictures.
     
  19. Pat, that old squaw is smokin as are all of the birds on here. Great job guys!! Such a pleasure to come to this thread and see the work.

    Pat, I've got an oldsquaw in the freezer and now I know how I want to mount him. Hope you don't mind but I'm going to steal that mount.
