I listened 3 times and I believe in my heart you said you were poopin and hollerin. But that's ok, I've been that excited too. It's messy but memorable.
Oof Ok
The widgeon looks fantastic, they're just such a pretty bird.
Super cool video! Some crazy facts about all these ducks. Awesome collection.
Thanks man. I thought they were pretty crazy facts too
Awesome video, Man! Cool to see your mounts and hear some of the stories. I remember a lot of "firsts". Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Loved the facts and the specimens too !! Keep up the good work
I love the waterfowl facts!
Nice collection! Those were some great quality slow mo shots.
Thanks!
loved the facts, great video and great looking birds!
Thanks!
Sir, Amit Rankar here from India , Your collection is extremely Amazing But I love the fact that the bird statues have been mounted in different angles (Position) ... Really Great Sir..
Really enjoyed your video and learned quite a bit about banded birds. I moved from Alabama to Iowa in Sept of 1995. I would fly back home from Omaha. They canceled my flight because of the “grand passage” you were talking about! It was crazy! I pulled over on interstate 80 before I got to Council Bluff and looked up to what I think was millions of geese. I have never seen anything like it. A farmer walked up to me and said that I wasn’t from around there. I said no sir-I’m from Alabama. He just laughed.
Wow that is an awesome story
Nice pics of some hybrids~ I was a federally licensed waterfowl breeder for 20 years but gave it up a few years ago.
That would be fun
Awesome! As of now I've got 1 drake green wing teal mount, a drake and a hen ringneck both standing on a piece of driftwood, a drake and hen surf scoter flying together, a drake wood duck standing similar to yours, and a drake bufflehead standing with one foot up on a pylon.
What a collection...the speck is probably my favourite mount
Thanks dude. Eugene did a really good job
That green wing teal looks awesome dude!
I really want to shoot one!
Great info. Awesome mounts! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Very cool . Thanks for the facts had no idea ducks and geese live that long 😜
Great video Titus!! Super cool that you have mounted your own!! I have my first Drake wood duck mounted. Waited 23 years to get him!! MVM Rocks Brother 👍🏼👍🏼
That’s awesome! Thanks!
Great collection!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks man! 👍🏼👍🏼
Love the fun waterfowl facts!
Thanks!
Awesome video awesome collection. I’m impressed you’ve mounted your own birds, I think you should do some mounting videos. How to, tips, etc...
We actually did a whole series
I need a lot haha
great video thanks for sharing
That Pintail is sweet. Nice displays!
Thanks man
Great video enjoyed every part of it!
Thank you
Great mounts and stories. My most memorable was my first tundra swan.

Awesome! I got my first red head
Awesome stuff and I really enjoyed the facts thanks
Thanks
Cool collection man one of this days I will have my place like that too
Super cool facts and mounts
Thanks
Yep that was my first speck!!
I thought so
So cool man! I can’t wait to be able to afford to mount a woodie!
Thanks man! It’s worth it when you can
Great video I wish you success and continuity ... I was pleased when I saw you in one of the videos of Fowl Assassins channel
Love the facts
Great vid, shot my first drake mallard in 2018. In freezer waiting to be mounted.
Pintail mount is sick!
Very nice video. Your mounts are first rate. Thanks for the duck and geese info.
I ve got some knowledge I d like to share. The first duck banded and recovered was a black duck banded by Jack Miner who also established the first successful refuge on
the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. He was a market gunner that noticed the dwindling number of ducks and geese. He started banding ducks and geese and being a very religous person , included a bible quote on each band. He called his refuge " the mission" and the birds "Missionaries " because they carried the word of God on their migrations. I was fortunate to take a missionary years ago that had been banded two days prior and made it to Coastal N.C. in that time. It was the only bird banded and taken on the Atlantic flyway that year.
Again thanks for sharing.
Wow, that’s awesome! Thank you for sharing
Nice little assortment of mounts you have there. Nice pintail .
Thanks Ken
Awesome still waiting on my first band to get mounted😂 I would like to see a decoy spread video for what you use at the refuges that would help me so much
Awesome mounts Titus! I love seeing people's taxidermy collections. I got my first mount last year. It's a stud spoonie I killed on public land 😝. A pair of drakes came in and I dropped em both in 2 shots
Thanks man. That’s awesome. I’m getting a spoon done soon
Killed my first mallard, a drake this past Sunday on a Central valley refuge!
Awesome! Congrats
@@MidValleyMercenaries I just shot mine a few days ago and I'm going to get him mounted!
Great vid!! Keep it up!
Hope to have most of these on my wall one day!
I know you will. You guys stack em
That was probably the best video I’ve ever seen on CZcams loved the facts I have a big red head mounted and about to get a woodie mounted too good luck on ur hunting adventures!!!
Wow thanks man appreciate that.
Great job
Really quality vids big ups to you for doing some side research just brings everything together👊🏻
Thanks
Great video! Love the facts. Nunavut, its a Territory up north here in Canada. You were right the first time. Its easy say Nuna then vut and put it together.
Great job man
Thank you
That pintail is sick!
Oh my your mounts are amazing!, I'm only 14 and wanting to get into waterfowl Taxidermy, Please put up some videos of Taxidermy
My father owns his Taxidermy business here in Gardnerville, NV....called Doran's Taxidermy.
Very nice work Titus, even that first Mallard you did, coming in locked up, is impressive! And the speck, awesome.
You're story about the Widgeon is funny - we've shot birds that've done the same thing, you know you nailed it but it keeps flying off, then all of a sudden it drops dead out of the sky, crazy
And interesting waterfowl facts!
I’ve been to Gardnerville before. It’s good to hear I’m not the only that has that happen lol. Thanks!
That was awesome.
Thanks
Really awesome video dude. That wood duck is boss that pintail too. I have two mallards Im waiting for that I’m getting mounted like your pintail, hopefully they turn out just like that, awesome.
Thanks man! I love that pose. Your mallards will look great like that
this is your best video!!
Great video!!! Some super cool mounts!! Are you getting your banded mallard mounted?
I wish I would have had it mounted but the first bird I ever shot I was 13 teen years old and it was Christmas morning with my dad and 2 uncles. It was a canvas back.
Oh man I’d be bummed too. I actually shot an awesome canvasback when I was in my late teens and ate it 🤦🏻♂️. Haven’t shot one since
@@MidValleyMercenaries yeah, down here people treat them like trash ducks, So I didnt think anything of it.
Pretty interesting facts on the duck speed. Teal may be slower when traveling in the air, but I think what makes them hard to hit is they move so much faster down low compared to other ducks like a mallard. They have an unpredictable flight pattern dropping in on decoys, whereas mallards seem to lock in and just float over the decoys a lot of the time.
Ya very unpredictable. Almost like a dove
Any advice for where to start in doing your own mounts?
Eugene Streekstra is an amazing taxidermist. He is a close family friend of ours! We have multiple birds done by him
That’s cool. Travis and I have had some good times with Eugene and learning to do Taxidermy
Great video keep em comin
👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing collection you have there!!! I hit that red button for you!!
Thanks!
I'm from Kansas city and absolutely love your vids I just wish I could have got out more this year but hopefully next season will be better for me
Wow that’s cool. Thanks for the support man
Hell I'm about 2 hours from KC! nice
Cletus Nance GO CHIEFS
I'm into ornithology and hunting so this is the video fer me haha. You got a new sub
Haha. Thanks.
Make up brush, never thought of that thanks!
No prob man works like a charm
Great collection Titus! When is one of them oldsquaws going to be up there haha?
Thanks! It’s gonna be a few months. Taxidermist has it just waiting for my turn
Sweet dude! I’ve got 12 at my house. Mallard, gw teal, bw teal, 2 pintails a woodie, gadwall, drake and hen can readhead and a pheasant! Lol oh can’t forget my favorite one. Hybrid duck it’s a mallard gadwall X.
I have a wood duck mounted also nice collection
I'm 10 and my favorite months I have is my first duck green wing drake and a hooded maganser drake.
HI sir ,Im a new subscriber on your Chanel and i have been watching some of your videos ,this one it very nice and helpful explanation about waterfowl ,actually i found where to buy a posters of waterfowl like one you show in the video,great job and very interstings all your videos,GOD BLESS YOU.
Cool video of your birds with facts. I need to do a taxidermy video. I'm in the Northeast so birds like Ross never seen one. Snows are super rare and I've only seen less than 10 Pintails in almost 40 years of hunting.
Thanks!
Great video man, greetings from Finland! I would have wanted to mount the first greylag goose I shot, since it took so many years to me to actually shoot one. In my area they are rare and very very smart because of high hunting pressure. Almost had tears of joy when after 8 mornings and 7 nights in row finally caught one! Hunting at it's best for me..
Thanks! Wow, Finland! That’s crazy man thanks for watching and congrats on the greylag that’s awesome
Great video. It would be cool to learn how to taxidermy birds.
Thanks. We have a series on out channel how to do just that. Check it out
The one I can remember was the first duck I shot (drake mallard) and my first pintail which is rare around here.
Can you do more taxidermy collection videos
Heck of a video.
Thanks
My first pintail is being mounted right now. I decided to have him mounted just the way he flew over the blind when I shot him. A moment I'll never forget.
Awesome!
Well done sir
Thanks!
I know this is a older video, but i live not to far from catohula lake, that is prolly why we dont see as manny in the spots i go to cause they are all on catahoula but i want to hunt it through
Nice video very nice dukh 👍👍👍
This is the best time of the year in Nunavut it’s time for egg picking spec Canada’s and snows eggs and no limit geese hunting love the vids
This video was sick
Teagan Jordan Thanks!
No problem just waiting on my chance to hunt with you guys 😂😂
Gonna get my first mallard mounted. Gonna do the hen and drake flying together
Nice vid bud.
Thanks🤙🏼
Need more of these man! Awesome collection 👊
So where do i find a hat like that! Checked MVM and dux....do u still carry that pattern?
Ya I think we have one left. Just go to www.mvmcoffee.com and we have them on there
if you ever come to Louisiana hit me up
I know this is a late comment, but this is my favorite video ever. I harvested my first Ross goose today and love the pose. Care if I copy it slightly. Great video.
What I meant is I'm getting the Ross mounted.
By all means copy it
@@MidValleyMercenaries thanks
I've only shot one duck and it was a Ringneck duck it is a pre-mature one and I'm getting it mounted.
Nice
Just shot a Euro widgeon last week! Gonna be my first mount
Wow that’s awesome! Congrats
@@MidValleyMercenaries thank you! Definitely going shoot Grasslands a msg
I like your walls
Nice video bro
Thanks man
I appreciate the fact info on different species. I have to say that the birds are much more beautiful alive than dead. Also as a wildlife photographer I say capturing a prized pic or vid of these amazing birds feeding, mating or hen with chicks is far more difficult and challenging than to shoot them.
I harvest & consume and film & photograph. Love doing both
Since you asked. My first duck: a drake black duck I jumpshot out of a creek about 40 yards. Hit him on my 3rd shot in a blizzard with about 5 inches of snow on the ground. Took me a half hour to find and all I saw was two bits of orange feet sticking out of the snow as the blizzard had practically covered him all up. Proudly on my wall for the past few years.
Awesome!
how would you rate the bufflehead mount thinking of doing 2 myself
Rate it as far as how hard?
It's weird that Ross geese aren't ever with snows there, we kill tons of ross and snows together in MO! But I do see them with Canada Geese often too!
I shot my first green winged teal should I mount it?
Sure
Once you shoot them and you wanna mount do you take it straight to taxidermy? Put it on ice then to them? How long can you wait to get it to one?
Put it in a 3 gallon ziplock bag and put it in the freezer. They’ll be good up to 3 or 4 years before you send them to the taxidermist
You should talk about how to do the taxidermy
We did a series on it
I live in Nunavut !!
One I remember is shooting two Mallards one shot, they were trying to land about 5ft from hitting the water 25yards out & I popped them. As soon as I went out to get them both had no movement fastest kill I ever had & I'm a crappy hunter!
