I think a doe Or yearling form was used and it was harvested during the late season in Nov. It went from large neck to a neck like a stack of dimes. Must have slipped right over the forum. I was way bummed when I picked it up. You can go in and check some of the bird mounts in his shop. He is on par with Over the hill taxidermy in Clear Lake.

bump, got a big fat goose Id like to get taxid, nobody can recommend anyone locally?
He also uses hay to stuff the body form, um no you need the actual duck form. Hay made the ducks look lumpy. Also for certain ducks your gonna want a precasted head..such h as wood duck, that makes the mount last longer. He didn't use fake heads he used the real been also didn't clean them out making a new home for bugs. He makes them look like a 8th grader art project.
I had him do a bunch of ducks and they weren't fleshed right they stunk of rot and bugs formed. Feathers fell out, he doesn't inject the feet which made them crack. He doesn't pin arount the eyes when there drying so the eyes on the side that's not facing out are closed. Yeah he will make your first mount look OK then after he thinks he's got your buisness he will make your other birds look crappy. I had to leave my thropys there cause I couldn't justify paying 225$+ for *censored*. There are 2 types of taxidermist : an artist , and a money taker. He's a money taker. So the ducks he did do for me that fell apart in less than a month (note nobody touched them when they were on the wall) I had to repay an actual artist to fix but then I had to dispose of them. I can gladly post pics. I just hate to see someone's trophy and masterpiece look bad.
