Game bird Mounts

[jblam]

Anyone have any Chukar mounts??

I was thinking about getting a few done this year along with a hun. My trapper buddies seem to all have a bobcat swiping at a pack of chukar, it’s cool

I wish I would have got the first grouse my old dog worked perfectly mounted I've only got its fan now. And when the old guy passes it will go into a shadow box with his collar and ashes

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 drake wood duck I killed with my dad years ago. He’s no longer able to hunt so this one is special to me. The base isn’t aging well so I’m going to be putting on a different one soon.

Grouse fan on the right was a pure red phase I took a couple years ago. Burnt orange ruffs it was an incredibly beautiful bird, but it was too shot up to do a full mount.

I've only got one bird mount right now, my emperor goose. But I've got a special to me rock ptarmigan dead mount at the taxi that should get done sometime in the next 6 months or so.



Other than that, I did some tail fan/wing boards for my kids' first grouse.

That Emperor is awesome! I’d consider my life fulfilled just to see one in the wild!

I never had the desire to get a bird mounted until I saw emperors in person. Pics just don't do justice to the blue/slate color of the plumage.

Grouse was done by Jim and Brenda at the safari room in medford. Doodle was done by Travis at wildwoods in fifield which is just down the road from our cabin. Both do great work. Jim and Brenda have done alot of bog game animals for me. Currently have a red stag and tahr from New zealand heading to them

I’ve only seen them in private aviculture collections and they still took my breath away. I used to dream of shooting a vagrant one day here in Oregon, but when the white-fronted geese were broken out of the dark goose limit for the spring season, it did away with any legal means to harvest any goose other than Canada, white geese and white-fronted geese. Pros and cons to that I guess, but it sure killed my dream.
