My favorite mounts are ones that have a connection to the hunt. I have a pair of buffleheads mounted from my girlfriend’s first hunt. The hen got water swatted so she got mounted swimming and the drake was cupping in when he got shot so he was mounted flying
Just started waterfowling last season. My first duck ever was a nice pintail drake. Having it mounted in cupped flight with the actual shotgun hull I shot it with mounted on the backerboard.
