Strange duck

[TNTomtaker01]

We killed this duck in AR this past weekend trying to decide if its a pie bald, mixed breed or what? And would you mount it?

 

[Grizzly Johnson]

I would just because it is unique.

 

[THE ONE]

deff put him on the wall!

 

[Str8Shooter]

i would and congrats on your success

 

[ShaneHallum]

Yep I'd have to put it on the wall.

Birds can have plumage that is both fully and partial albino. That guy looks like a partial.

I see them at my pond quite often. Its just a mallard thats bred with a domesticated white duck. I wouldn't mount one.

Agree 100% see them all the time around here at the local park.

If it was me, I'd save the momement with a photo and save the money. But, on the other side of famed coin, will you ever shoot another one, exactly like that...? Probably not.
But there are a lot of hybrid variations shot.

cool looking duck

 

[JohnnyBond]

:cool:

 

[mathews338]

cool duck!

 

[762hunter]

looks like ya'll had fun!

definately a neat duck, mount it


but one question...






what you so mad at?
you got that "hard/mean" look to ya

figured after a day of shooting like that you may be able to crack a smile

 

[easy45]

Cool

One of the Duck Commander's finest ducks right there... tame. Picture is the best I would do.

 

[rukiddin]

I would'nt be so quick to call "tamey hybrid". I think its just a migrator with a once in a lifetime color phase. Mount it!

Care to elaborate on that theory?

 

[arkwaterfowler]

no one knows for sure. see several blonde hens before.

 

[spitndrum]

Was you hunting with David?

Duck Commander... and the rest of them bringing tame ducks in to shoot.... only fitting that you get a white one mixed up in the bunch.

Did it have clip toe? LOL

 

[TNTomtaker01]

Was you hunting with David?

Yeah its was his duck, that what is making the decision hard. He didnt know if he was going to mount it or not and i was going to mount him with another drake i got earlier this year.

Thats hilarious! For the sake of hijacking a special and rare duck thread, I'll just leave it at that.

 

[SilverFox]

I don't think it's a rare duck.. it might be a rare tame duck crossbreed. If it is a rare WILD duck then I apologize. Until then I stand by my statement of tame crossbreed.

 

[double browtine]

I saw a duck a couple years ago a friend killed. It had the bill of a shoveler but looked more like a greenhead. Had some white on him too but had orage feet like a mallard. Don't think he mounted him.

 

[Tall Timber]

NICE

 

[baller_9]

I've duck hunted my whole life and don't believe for a second thats a duck that has crossed bred to a tame duck. So let me get this straight...a drake mallard bred with a tame pond duck in someones backyard...after the tame duck raised the half breed it joined the wild ducks the following year by flying down the flyway to join it's half brothers and sisters? That makes sense...

I wouldn't even think twice about mounting that duck. Thats a once in a lifetime bird. If you don't mount it I'll pm you my address so you can freeze it and send it to me and I'll mount it.

 

[Dodgeball]

Mount it brotha!!

 

[Dodgeball]

Mounted this one

 

[double browtine]

Now that's a cool mount!! Where did you kill it dodgeball?

 

[WalkerWildlife]

I would mount it...I have killed a couple mixes before and mounted both of them...I also don't think it is cross with tame duck if you killed it on public land or private land that does not release birds...or not anywhere near a reserve...
