I have a flock of four mounted hanging from the cieling in that classic can poses. Two coming in cuppped with paddles out and two going sideways paddles out. I love the way they came out, however I don't know if you would get the same effect with just one.

If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

I too have a drake can in the freezer from last season and would like to see some classic poses, preferably inflight. I'm not kidding...anyone can carbon date my bird if they want.

Also, any suggestions for taxidermists in N. Miss/Memphis area----exceptional quality only?

Quackers, I don't mind at all. Here is one I recently mounted. Sorry for the tape and pins, It was still drying when I took the pic.

The best around this area is Pat Pitt. 901-331-9417..... Take it to him and them look at the couple of hundred he has mounted to pick out what you want. He did two for me last year and they are awsome.
