Title: Baikal Teal Mount Finished
Post by: WCTaxidermy 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

well I can't tell, you did a great job fixing the shot damage. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I drop a woody with BB loaded. :chuckle:

Post by: WCTaxidermy on June 09, 2010, 07:23:20 PM: 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
