Default What dis is?
Shot this dude friday. Wanted to call it a mallard / gad at first but the wings and bill are throwing me off. The pics don't do it much justice, but the top of the head has the iridescent purple tint that a full plume bull gad has. His tail had sort of a limp curl instead of a full curl, and it was calling like a mallard drake prior to me shooting it in the face. Got it in the freezer right now gunna take somewhere asap to get an opinion on mounting it (open for opinions on this also). Messed both wings up pretty bad so I'm assuming a flying mount it out of the questions. I've never had one mounted, and never planned on having one done, but this seems like a good Christmas present idea for the ol lady. I know ALL of you guys are certified waterfowl biologists so help me out here.

That's a tough call. But I'm gonna have to agree with to on the mallard/grey hybrid.

As for taxidermists. Steve German in Hackberry or Buckhorn Taxidermy in Mowata.

I've heard of a brewers duck, and this seems to be one, but I'm still not sure the origin of it. What crossed what exactly?

If it was a teal cross I'd assume it would be much smaller. This one was the size of a normal mallard

All the mallard x teal that we see are the size of mallards. It's head coloring gives the teal part away. Plus the speckling on rusty chest feathers. Cool bird though!!!

I believe the brewers duck is the most common cross bread we kill, and yes Mallards will breed with anything.

Wonder what the brewers duck produces when it breeds back with a Gadwall?

Dat Be Awesome! If you killed it congratulations. If I killed a hybrid I think I would mount it.

On a side note my uncle killed a bluewing in Bell City on Friday that was banded in August next to Yorkton, Saskatchewan. 1,500 mile trip.

Yea my cousin killed one years ago in Sabine that he calls a Brewers duck. Looked basically the same as mine. I still don't see how a mallard / teal would be as big as a standard mallard though. From everything I'm reading a "Brewers" is just a name for a Mal / Gad cross.

Killed this one a couple years ago in NE LA rice fields.
Looks like a gadwall x mallard.
He was the size of a speck and I thought about putting him on the wall... then I ate him.
