Great Morning at the Wis Today

[ilovesprig]

And it was all because of a little duck.....A full blown drake blue-wing teal.....I've shot them in Canada, SoCal, and Mexico, but never one of this quality.....Best part was I didn't even know it was a blue-winger. Just assumed when Trigger went to retrieve it was a cinnamon.....It had fallen behind some brush and I couldn't see it hit the water.....When I went around the brush and sent Trigger out, it was already about 50+ yds swimming away. Sent him after it and about 10 minutes later and I'm sitting on my stool, Trigger comes swimming in with it.....Hell of a retrieve and a hell of a beautiful bird.....Going to the taxi tomorrow.....

@ilovesprig,
You'll have to post a pic of the finished product once you receive it.
I was going to ask, which taxidermist do you use?
