Baikal Teal Mount Finished
« on: June 07, 2010, 11:48:37 AM »
Here is the Baikal Teal I was telling you guy's/Gal's about.  I just got back from the Idaho Taxidermy Competition and competed with this bird and 3 others.  What an honor to be able to work on a rare species of Teal.  This was a wild shot bird from Central California that received about the full compliment of shot from a 12 guage.  Man was this bird shot up bad! :bash:  Anyway hope you enjoy the pic's.  John

Great mount John! I hadn't seen that subspecies of teal before. Beautiful bird. Congrats on the BLUE ribbon. I'm sure it's not your first or last.

Thanks everyone.  Bullblaster those are the real feet.  I use artificial heads on all my waterfowl mounts.  Dustin07, we are going to have to talk about using BB load on waterfowl, especially the birds your going to get mounted. :chuckle:  Thanks again everyone and talk with you soon.  John

Very nice work!!!
