Mount worthy?

[bgizzle]

Killed him today. I got one mounted already but been wanting to start a stringer mount. All drakes..... Pin, mallard, mottle, widgeon, grey....

Just seeing what y'all thinkImageUploadedByTapatalk1388287170.407981.jpg

I got some more pics on my digital cam... This may not give a good idea of size. Bright Orange feet like he was a new bird(no mud from rice field) and three curls and great plumage. Don't know if he is bigger than the one on my wall but I'll c tom maybe

Do it.

So you can really tell its a "new" bird by the color of the feet?

[bgizzle]

That's just personal thoughts. No proof. Just think if it had been in muddy rice fields awhile it would have muddy feet. They almost looked fake they were so orange.

Feet change color secondary to hormone changes in breeding season. Has absolutely nothing to do w new birds. Hope this helps. We are seeing birds paired already and lots of courting flights( a bunch of drakes and one hen)

Cool... Thx. That's how I thought to judge it bc of long flight down and hadn't gotten dirty yet. Thanks man... Learn something new everyday

No I'm pretty sure Louisiana is the only state with muddy fields

If he's mount worthy to you then that's all that matters.

Get some red chucks painted on dem feet.

[bgizzle]

Cool deal guys. Just a thought. But that's a cool fact. If it weren't for SC Ida never known that cool duck info. Thanks again for all the great posts on the topic. I killed a pin with a tramp stamp today.... Should I mount it?
