I shot one of those in PAC when I was about 17, but it was me and a buddy hunting and I didn't know what the fuck it was so we threw it back
Didn't wanna get busted by old green jeans. Wish ida known then what I know now, it'd be on the wall.

Actully now that you say it, yes. Afew years ago we had 3 in one of our ponds and they kept circling and circling and coming back. We saw those same 3 in multiple hunts. Then they started to annoy us one hunt and my cousin shot one. We never saw them again. I think they were lost. Thats the only time in my 20 years of duck hunting. |

That's a good one. We get them on the bays here in Texas in decent numbers late season |

I've got one on the wall. Seen 3 killed in Arkansas. Killed one on a big deep lake, and the other 2 on a small oxbow in the woods (I think they were lost). |

I love it when they are high up and lock up. Sounds like a jumbo jet. Don't know how many times I got busted by them because I was looking in the sky to see a plane and it was them. They are the last birds to show up by me along with the cans and greater bills |

They were killing Goldie's up north about a week or two ago. I imagine they ran out of soft water and had to come down. I have this little guy in the freezer now. Shot him about 2 weeks ago. |

I've killed a few golden eye in west Texas jumping ponds. It's weird cause you will jump one pond and kill buffelheads and a few golden eyes and go to the next pond and shoot all gads and pins and widgons. The golden eye and the pink footed buffelheads are pretty birds |

Thanks, Owen. Looks good. I'm debating flying vs standing. |

I'm not sure how I'll have mine done either. I'm thinking I won't go with a flying pose because I'd lose what I like about the buffie. I think I'll have him standing and preening. That way his comb will be puffed up and I can see his cute little feet. |

I think it's very uncommon to see barrows. I don't remember ever seeing one. |

They do this funky thing with their head when their courting: CommonGoldeneyeTSa4[1].jpg1601761411_6a125eca42_z.jpg I always wanted to get a pair mounted under glass like that. They also nest in tree cavities like a woodie, so putting one on top of a nest box is another idea.... |

Thanks, Man! Yeah, I love that distinct whistling sound they make when they're flying even when you can't see them. |

The mount turned out great Gunner.. That is my species to get mounted this year, the big horn river is full of them . When trout fishing that s all you hear is the whistling sounds they make.. |
