Pretty disrespectful to a beautifully plumed bird. Anti hunters would loooooooove to use this picture as fodder to further their agenda, and honestly who could blame them. Even as a sportsman, who gets the joke, I don't think its funny. If you can't identify on the wing well enough to not harvest the birds you won't eat, then you have no business putting your gun to your shoulder. Ringers, bluebills and other "less desireable" tablefare go to the sausage pile where, after adding the right amount of pork fat, spices, and smoke, people rave about them. Sorry john, i have to agree. Its funny for a second, but i would not have that mount in my house. When i finish ducks by hand or foot, i make sure nobody is watching So to portray this mount for eternity. Again, no hard feelings.

I find it in poor taste. I know the spoony gets a bad rep, but as hunters, not just duck hunters but any kind of hunter, we should be respectful of the wild game we take to fill our freezers and consume for our own benefit. not much benefit when it taste like a sardines cooch Thats weird because they eat pretty much the same things all other dabblers eat minus cereal grains... Maybe you're confusing them with a merganser? From ducks.org: Food habits: Northern shovelers feed by dabbling and sifting in shallow water. Seeds of sedges, bulrushes, saw grass, smartweeds, pondweeds, algae and duckweeds, as well as aquatic insects, mollusks and crustaceans, are consumed by filtering water which is taken in at the bill tip and jetted out at the base.

If you eat sardine cooch, then why pass on the spoonie? lol. This thread is funny! Scaup is a whole other ballgame, nasty poop taste, yet they don't have the reputation of the shoveler. I just don't get it... and you? Only ever shot one that I ate. And it was nasty! Now I do as others have said, either sausage or a gumbo/jambalaya. Something to hide that taste...

John, you goin to safari club? I'm not going to make it up there. My girlfriend will be there all day Thursday and Friday trying for an africa hunting website she works for selling ad space. Hunting season is too short for me to waste a weekend up there in Dallas. And as far as the mount goes, I would never have it in my house because I think it is a little ridiculous as well. Just put it on here mainly to get a rise out of everyone!
I'm with GK because I like salty old dudes.

It's funny at first glance but I wouldn't put it in my house. To each his own. I don't care for "dead mounts" either but some guys think they are cool. I haven't seen any deer mounts where the deer is hanging from a grambrel or on a tailgate with it's tongue hanging out. I guess if it's all about remembering the hunt.....

I'm dying to know and sure others are.... but what does sardines cooch taste like...... and how do you know this flavor I find it in poor taste. I know the spoony gets a bad rep, but as hunters, not just duck hunters but any kind of hunter, we should be respectful of the wild game we take to fill our freezers and consume for our own benefit. not much benefit when it taste like a sardines cooch
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

Question for all you serious folks.
If that mount represents disrespect for the resource. Could that not be said about all waterfowl mounts? You wasted the game, you did not eat the animal which died at your hands.
Just saying.

Just saying. Good point. I guess then the question becomes: What type of mount honors the life of the animal more? As far as your sense of humor comment, the same could be said about all those with no class.

Just saying. I skin all my ducks before I take them the taxi to get the meat. Your post makes no sense.

Not everybody is part Cherokee and has your scalping skills.
No class vs no sense of humor.
Caddy shack comes to mind. Whatever Rodney dangerfields character was vs the "judge".
Thanks for the compliment.
