 Re: drake spoon bill
Get it mounted sitting on a toilet seat. That is the main hang out for a spoonie in Alabama, right close to a sewage treatment plant.

 Re: drake spoon bill
Sitting is nice if you want the orange/red belly to show. IMO flying is a little nicer so you can see the blue and green on their wings.

 Re: drake spoon bill
A drake Carl Malone duck really has good colors, graft a mallard bill on it and they wouldnt be that bad.

 Re: drake spoon bill
The dead mounts are my favorite but there's very few that are mounted right. The pic Darrel posted is awesome. I have a drake bluewing i want to mount on a stringer then i will add a drake or two every year "hopefully" until i get all the birds that we kill down here. Shit maybe even a pouldeu  . How do you tell a drake pouldeau anyway?
