    Game bird Mounts

    At one point I had a lot of bird mounts but I’ve weeded most of them out (poor taxidermy quality or not prime specimens). What I have left at home are: 1) A big gander Tule white-fronted goose. This was a very special hunt with one of my daughters. 2) My one and only black Brant. 3) a huge...
