If it is a duck that is a hybrid desendantof a black east indies duck, would you then not get it mounted? I shot this duck on public ground, it came in with 2 other mallards, a drake and hen pair with normal colors, I shot this one because of it's unique plumage. How could you know for sure what this duck is crossed with, is thier no way that it could be any other hybrid combination?This duck was thinin body size the exact same asany other mallard duck I have taken, not fat like a duck that has been waddling around a farm eating handout corn all summer, like a domestic "barnyard duck".

It was a really neat experience shooting this duck, public ground, windy, drizzling morning, this duck with the other 2 he was with circled twice, came right back to my calling, I shot him perfect with one shot at about 30 yards, I was really looking forward to getting this bird mounted, would any of you still take him to the taxidermist?
