Mount worthy
 

Don't know how many of y'all would mount a squealer but I thought it would be a nice addition to my collection. By far the prettiest and biggest one I shot so far. What y'all think?

You already know how I feel about it. That's the nicest one I've ever seen.

I'm no expert on ducks... what kind of duck is that?

I have a black belly and fulvous mounted together.

Mount it. I have a fulvous mounted. Have shot a bunch of black bellies but didn't mount one. Planned on mounting one this year and didn't kill one. Usually kill 20-30. They are a beautiful bird. A lot prettier than the fulvous.

Black-Bellied Whistling Duck

It's crazy how much birds can vary just across a state even when they migrate from so far. Never have seen one of those or heard I anyone killing one except from y'all's area

We get a bunch in the summer and early fall, but they move on long before duck season.

We usually see em in the spring and in teal season, but rarely if ever after that.

They normally hang around the marsh in Boston for most of the duck season.

I have killed some over the years. But this is the nicest one so far I was only gonna do 1 bird this year. I already have a pintail I'm waiting on, but I guess I'm gonna have to do this one too.

Shot a bunch in Venice before issac. They were living there.
I guess the storm pushed em out and they didn't return!
I see about 50-100 every night fly over my house in river ridge, they roost on the river.

It's worth mounting. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Only if you have a green head spoonbill mounted 1st

Accidentally tore the head off trying to ring it's neck. I was gonna mount it with a boot on top of it stomping it in the mud!

So are these whistling ducks also referred to as marsh hens or gerbys?

Mexican squealers


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

No. They are called Mexican squealers by most people down here.

We had a bunch last year in Klondike. This one was shot at quackheads place in Boston though.
