I like to get them off the ground as fast as I can so they don't bust up the feather more than necessary. So its grab them by the feet for me and let them flap until dead. If they need a neck ringing, they get one.

I was told by a taxidermist, not to step on their head if you wanted to have them mounted .
He said push down on them to squeeze out the air. :dunno:

 :yeah: Grab their legs at same time so they don't spur you. Then fold his neck so no air way and place your knee in their chest so they can't breathe, instant No Flop :)
