Honker...

It's gettin' awfully quiet in here, so here's the last bird I had done. Had him positioned in a way to keep him a little closer to the wall. Still takes a bit o room...

That's a nice mount. I'm gonna get one done when I shoot one with an eyebrow.

Thats a great looking mount, probably one of very few mounts when the bird is flying like that, that I actually like. It has a bit of a different shape to the neck and body, very nicely done. How far out from the wall does it stick out?

Thanks swift'. It sticks out exactly 19 inches at the farthest point from the wall. Could squeeze it down to 16 pretty easily.

Thanks, Mike. Yessir. Fella in Brinkley name o Sonny, at Burrows. Picked up a speck he did for a buddy was a beautiful bird as well, but forgot ta get a pic. He does good on the geese, but man can he bring a duck back to life.
