Nice job Eric, I’ve seen a lot of scoters that the taxidermist couldn’t get the feathers to lie down correctly on and look mostly grey! Are these to compliment your old squaws you posted earlier? Or are they a cust

So the old squaw and these are all customers. They actually belong to an AH member and her husband who went on a sea duck hunt with all of us last year up in New York.

Well done on mounts and hunt Eric. Looks a little "Canadian" with all the warm gear on. Keep these pics coming, I really enjoy looking at your work, the way they are mounted and even the stories accompanying them. Honest, no BS, good stuff. Clear that you put your heart and passion in your taxidermy.

Thank you and we really appreciate it. I am so blessed to get to do what I do for a living and I have the greatest team both at the studio and the ranch that I could ever ask for.
It was holly smokes coooolllllddd out there on the ocean.

I lived in Colorado for a couple of years when I was in my early 20’s and spent Oct- March in Bear Oil Wyoming one time 20 some odd years ago. I had been cold before but holly crap that cold on the water like that is brutal. It’s also pretty dang cold here in the panhandle of Texas where I live during Jan-about now.
I literally thought I was going to freeze to death out on the ocean. The New Yorkers can have all of that mess. That being said I had a wonderful trip and definitely want to do it again, with much better boots next time.
