Bob,

Never been a duck hunter, mostly because I don't like duck. But I have cleaned lots of birds, and this looks like it is waiting to be cleaned .
Nice Nice Job!!!!!

Ash

I can't believe that is a carving. Looks like the real McCoy. Your work is impressive.

Gorgeous work Bob, you can smell the marsh from that carving! Cold fall mornings, in the blind before the sun rises, trying to wake up and stop shivering, cause the blind is flooded! Then the quick flight of a pair off to the left, just out of range and a second pair a bit closer. I remember those mornings well! Thanks for the reminder.

Bob

Squbrigg,
Thats what its all about . My art while centered on Waterfowl it is only the chosen vehicle to the soul of the hunter. Thanks for the minds eye view of your shivering morning .

Wow!
The blue feathers under the wing are a beautiful contrast to the rest of the bird. I like the way you chose to mount the bird as well. Very good carving!
