Wow, there are some beautiful mounts pictured above!

What I did, was asked the taxidermist to not mount mine on wood, and leave me as long a piece of metal coming out of the mold inside to work with. I started with the pintail and 2 greenwing teal and since they fly together naturally, made a grouping with one teal mounted to see it's belly.

Then I drilled through the sheetrock into the studs and mounted the birds where I wanted them, and painted the metal rod to match the wall. I have a high ceiling in the family room, and it really looks like they're caught in flight since there's nothing obvious holding them up. I've had a number of people do double takes walking into the room.



Here's the detail on the pinny


I continued with the greenhead above the blacktail. When my son moved to Montana he did not want to move his birds, so I gladly offered to safely store them on the wall! Woody and Widgeon over the Laugh letters above the door.

The only mount I do not like is the canvasback on a log, it's well done but just looks odd with all the rest flying.

Looking at a preview of the post, let me add I bought the cross from a guy selling them from the back of a truck in Austin, not far from the Motorola Semiconductor/ Freescale plant.

I just sent my mallard out to birdmanstudios.com Check out his gallery, he has some amazing mounts. I am going with pose #17 in his "flying" gallery.

How much does a typical mount usually run? I havent mounted one yet but I have a nice canvas back drake in the freezer..

I've been told to expect around 300

Not a mount but just as important to me. Maverick with a bufflehead in a frame that DU gave me for working at the national convention two years ago.
