How is that mounted to the wall? I just dropped of a specklebelly and want a similar mount without a piece of wood or whatever behind it. I just want the bird and a real low profile mount.
Thanks

I bet it’s a ghost hanger. Basically a big wire and a base. Any taxidermist should be able to get them.

So while me and my hunting buddy were setting up for this hunt, I said to him “you know, I’ve been waterfowl hunting for awhile now and haven’t had anything mounted yet”. About an hour or so later, the only 2 birds we saw that day, were these two studs that we both blasted simultaneously and I said “well if that wasn’t a sign to get one of these mounted…”

Awesome, thank you! I never knew such a thing existed but it's exactly what I want. I was going to make something similar....this will be much better. I've been shooting birds for a long time and finally decided to mount something.

That’s a beautiful sprig I’ve always loved those preening mounts.

Basically two wires run from the piece of wood into the back of the swan and then there is a hanger on the piece of wood.

I’d like to one day get a collection of upland birds and mount them all around a card table playing poker.

Anybody have any new bird mounts to post up?

I have a beautiful drake pintail that is going to the taxidermist in about a week.

Oh I’ve already got the pose picked out, I was just hoping to drool over everybody else’s birds LOL.

I appreciate the suggestion, though. I do cruise his website fairly often, just to see what’s new.

That’s a beautiful mount! I think Ruffed grouse make very attractive mounts.
