Do you guys consider a male green wing as a duck worth mounting? I was having this debate with my parents. It's a beautiful duck, gorgeous plumage, fully grown. So, think I should mount it, or save the money for another kind of duck?

i think any full plumed drake is worthy of mounting, especially if it is special to you. greenwings are gorgeous too. i just dropped off a rather large wood duck drake with perfect plumage at the taxidermist. im having it mounted standing with its wing slightly raised and in a glass case. wood ducks look better standing than flying IMO.
on a greenwing id go with flying pose on a piece of driftwood. just my 2 cents.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'
Lookin at one i have mounted right now, one of my favorites. It's standing with it's wing lifted and head kinda tucked underneath. I think a flying mount would probably be better though, unless you have a place to put it where you can see all the color.

I've got a drake and a hen greenwing mounted in flying positions and it really shows all the color good. Those are the only 2 ducks I've ever killed with one shot.
Yeah, this is the second duck I have ever gotten in one shot. My first was this full plumage spoonbill that I accidentally cleaned instead of considered mounting. My hunting buddies were like "Why would you get something liek that mounted?" Last time I give into peer pressure. And yet they were saying that it was the most beautiful one they had ever seen.
