I killed a black duck this past weekend and was curious what is some of your ideas for mount position?

had a black mounted similar to this pic above

head on mine was facing more to the side, but it was a great mount

I took it to Pat Pitt in OB and told him to do what ever he felt was "right"

that guy is an artist and the black duck is a beautiful bird

I took that exact pic to my taxidermist the other day. I have a mottled/mallard cross with him now and a widgeon in the freezer that is going shortly.

I also like the standing mounts as much or better than flying. Both of these boys will be standing or swimming if I can figure out exactly how I want the swimming mount done.

BBR12, I still have your DU book also. Bring that wigeon asap 'cause I'm getting real busy. Later

Recently picked this one up from Tommy Lovelace in Brandon. This is my first pic to post. Do not know if it will work.
