I went to Maryland for a 3 day duck hunt and ended up getting some buffleheads and a bluebill. Id like to get one of each mounted. Any ideas for some nice mounts.

Im thinking of getting the bufflehead mounted standing and the bluebill flying?

any ideas or pictures would be great.

thanks.

Congrats on the birds. If this site can't help you make up your mind, not sure what will. I'm a big fan of standing & dead mounts.

Thanks for the congrats also. We were down in Maryland The 21st through the 23rd of January. Monday was 30 degrees with a little wind. Tuesday was 15 degrees and 25-30mph winds. Needless to say we didnt stay out past 10 am. and had to turn around at our first spot bc of bad waves.

Keep in mind the underside of a bill is rather drab. My buddy is mounting all his divers in cupped positions coming out from the wall, similar to #5. If it weren't for the color on the heads all you would see is gray. I would do standing or flat flying mounts, like 1 or 2.

I really like the flying blue bill and the standing bufflehead mounts. Im going with those for my 2 mounts.

Thanks everyone.

This works well. Standing but still on the wall out of the way.
