Is that a tar ball he's standing on?

It's your old lady's bush. It looks that way from a lack of hygiene.

You were trying to be a funny guy and bang on my mount. No harm. Thanks.

Is that a pellet scar on the right leg band. I don't know why but I love bands with the pellet scars.

That's a great looking mount. That double band is something to be proud of! I'd rather have a double banded bird than a trophy buck any day.

Nice mount, Team Dos Gris!! :)

Were both bands from the same location? I've never gotten one of those.


PS One man's "Dos Gris" is another man's "Bluebill" :)

That's really cool! Especially since that one has good color too.

Nothing wrong with bluebills! I mean sure there are better eating ducks, but divers haul ass and provide some great shooting.
