I get lots of positive comments on this guy, especially from nonhunters. Many think it is a foreign duck since they have never seen one in the City. Go for it. Beautiful!

I can sell a brown bear hide to a taxidermist and I can't sell a duck? You betcha! Did a little digging and you can only sell farm-raised waterfowl with the proper paperwork. Wild waterfowl are a no-go, they can only be gifted. That is the Lacey Act right?
I have nothing clever to put here.

Lacy act is just export/ import I believe from dealing with it.
"The Lacey Act of 1900, or simply the Lacey Act is a conservation law in the United States that prohibits trade in wildlife, fish, and plants that have been illegally taken, possessed, transported, or sold."

Dirt- Your brown bear is the game of AK so it has state jurisdiction. You take it illegally in AK and try to sell it across state or international lines, then you're on the feds radar.
Migratory birds are considered international game so the fed gov is in charge. Most of the current laws are old from the early 1900s (such as the 3 round magazine load for a shotgun) and may not be applicable as much now as back then but the problem with laws is that they stay there unless someone repeals or modifies them. I've sold lots of upland game feathers because my state owns them. I have nothing to do with waterfowl parts and pieces, nothing but potential trouble. He**, the USWFS confiscated a 150 year taxi mount of some now endangered seabird out of a restaurant in ME a number of years ago. Really...what's the point, because they have the power to do so...? The laws that Congress pass usually have lots of "administrative holes" in them. Bureaucrats often sit around a table and fill those in as they see fit. Doesn't mean they're constitutional but until someone or some entity who has the money to challenge such practices in court shows up, such rules stand. And I speak as a "cousin" to the USFWS. At least I don't have to harass people if I get some ornery or power tripping hair up my bunger...

What seems like a few weeks ago I shot 2 drake woodies on the same day both where nice and I considered getting one mounted .As I thought about it I decided that I would get another someday that I would put on the wall that few weeks ago was back in 1983 or 84 . Same goes for a ring neck pheasant .Now any pheasant I killed here would be pen raised bird .If you can afford it now is the time to do it

Wood ducks are gorgeous birds. That one looks to be in great shape. I'd mount it.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.
