I'm looking to get a pheasant mount - what do I need to be aware of when trying to get this done?
Title: Re: Let's see your bird mounts!!!!
Post by: Goldeneye on January 24, 2012, 06:57:49 PM: OK, Here's a couple I have.

First one is a pair of woody's I have inside a glass case. Had them for about 25 years now.
Second one is a Canvasback mount I actually mounted myself. I got it last season and since my old dog is near the end of her hunting career I decided it would be her legacy bird. Doing it myself is kind of my tip of the hat to her and all the birds she has retrieved for me over the years.

Coming later this year are a Ross goose with a heavily warted beak and an Eaglehead Blue goose. Looking forward to adding those mounts to my collection when completed.

Title: Re: Let's see your bird mounts!!!!
Post by: 92xj on January 26, 2012, 12:01:27 PM: I hunted with the pink lanyward for 2 years before getting the other one. It's not my back up. Wanted something no one else had and I dig it. The chicks dig it as well.

Mave, come on over anytime! Cold beer, pulled pork and fires in the firepit with good friends happens often. I will let you know the next time we do something.

I have 4 more mounts getting done hopefully within the next two months. A Redhead, pheasant, antelope and muledeer. I'm ready to have those on the wall!

Cryfowl that Mandrin is amazing did you shoot that in WA.

I used to raise all sorts of Wild Ducks and Geese. Had over 30 species at one point. Occassionally I would have an escapee, so I would try and catch them, but if I couldn't......Baaam! That's where the Mandarin and White Faced Tree Duck came from. :o

Post by: Hornseeker on January 31, 2012, 07:56:54 AM: Great mounts... I need to buck up and spend the money to get some done. My dream, which I think I'll do someday, is to have a nice piece of driftwood, like 5 feet long, with like 5 different drakes mounted on it... mainly... Mallard, Woody, Widgeon, Green Wing and Red Head.... Oh... and a Pinny... 6

Want to get a good standing goose too, with some reeds/grass and nat habitat around it.

I've never seen anyone do a Gadwall, but I shot a full plumage adult drake on my last hunt of the season that I'm going to have done. The main reason that I'm having it done is that I shot him and the hen with one shot. They were close enough together that they both fell.
i have one that john at wct did for me. freaking awesome job, he is def the man. will post pics when i get home tomorrow. just an awesome deal. you want birds, you want john at wctaxidermy

Camp David, Is that what I think it is in front of the Blue winged teal? Is it a white-cheeked Pintail? If so, very cool bird...

Yes. We don’t see many (if any) pintails when hunting. My clubhouse is in Colombia and these birds were shot on the northern coast. The blue wing teal migrate here in the winter and start returning mid April to breed in the US and Canada. Right now hunting is peak for the blue wing.

Will also be adding a harli, a d/h pair of surf and white wing scoters, two stud drake barrows GE, and a buffie. My taxi bill this year was rough.

Ned, since your a new member, I don't know if you posted these as a joke or if those are actually your mounted trophy's. Either way I don't think it was appropriate to post those. What ever happened to a sportsman respecting the animals they harvest!

I have been a bird Taxidermist for a long time, and I can't imagine any serious Taxidermist mounting those birds up like that. What a serious disrespect for the bird species that are portrayed in those photo's. Just my humble opinion............John Oh P.S. welcome to the site....

Hey, thanks for passing judgment on me without knowing me or my intentions.
You also have no idea who mounted these bird or why they mounted them.
You admit you dont know if it was in fun or serious then questioned my sportsmanship or how much respect I show the birds I harvest.

Ned, first off you post the pictures without any text to go along with them. I would have thought that you would have posted your intentions when you posted the pictures. What do you expect people to think when they see pictures like this, with no text to explain it. Second, I wasn't passing judgment onto you. I was simply stating that IN MY OPINION I don't think that birds such as these should be portrayed in this manner, rather Joking or not, it disrespects the bird. Just look at the pictures.

Title: Re: Let's see your bird mounts!!!!
Post by: Ellensburg on March 01, 2012, 05:21:29 PM: There are 2 sides to every duck mount. I find it hilarious but I can also see how it is disrespectful to the animal. In terms of the animal "going to waste" NAHHHH. The enjoyment that I have gotten just from viewing the pictures is worth more than a duck dinner. Just remember that this is the waterfowl section, and we are all suppose to get along or else e-police like myself have to enforce the law.

Welcome Ned, you are my new forum buddy.
