I'm not sure if anyone else does this, but me and the fellas that i hunt with all sometimes take a peice of the ducks we kill with us. I'm not gonna mount anything unless its somethin special like a pintail or a hoodie (maybe mount a woodie but they are all over the place).Whenyou kill a turkey, you would take the fan/spurs/beard. Well we applied this to ducks.We cut the wings and take as much as the meat off the wing as we can. Usually let 'em sit in the garage dryin out for about a month. Just wonderin if yall do stuff like that other than just pictures or mounts.

I love takin pictures of all the "ducky" stuff, so i threw a little picture together in a couple minutes.

I take the wings, but for a different reason. Both my buddy and I have young labs that we are working on so the wings are invaluable training tools.

Ha that reminds me. We did the same thing with my buddies black lab that he got for free. It was already a year and a half old, so it just wouldn't listen. We used to use the wings like yall but all he would do was eat them.

i only did that when i was training my dog when he was a pup, now i always take a picture, then i just clean the bird and its over with
