Wood duck taxidermy

[fishing4sanity]

When I finally got my first wood duck, it was naturally headed straight to the taxidermist. I discussed how I wanted the mount and when it was completed last week the taxidermist called to let me know it was ready to pickup. However, he was hoping to take it to a show/contest in California if I was alright with that. I just got a text and the following pic from him. I'm really looking forward to getting this mount home now.

do you get the blue ribbon too

 

[fishing4sanity]

The taxidermist is Leon Mathews at Avian Artistry in Kennewick, WA and I'm guessing he'll want to keep the ribbons. However, they'd look good next to my "participant ribbons" I've gotten due to my sport's prowess.

Sweet!!!! Looks awsome, do you guys not have alot of woodies out there? The taxi did a great job, I"ve always wanted a duck mount with the water look like that.

That is an awesome mount. I love a drake woodie. Not a prettier bird IMHO.

Beautiful mount! Woodies make up 90% of my bag here in MN. They sure are tasty!
