Liven up the taxidermy forum

Hey Everybody,

I'm a regular over on duckhuntingchat but also enjoy goose hunting around the south Texas area. That and I mount quite a few a year that I wanted to start sharing over here.

Big Western Canada coming in


Dead strap with a speck that was actually smaller than a Ross' goose


Banded Snow Goose coming in wings back


Thanks for looking!

You do great work!

Thanks Jon I enjoy all bird hunting whether waterfowl or upland. Geese have always been a real motivator because it's harder (here anyway) to get places to hunt them and their so damned wary. I'm still shooting for the Blue Ross' so maybe one day. Did get to do one for a friend that was a gorgeous bird. Jealous to say the least!

Thanks a lot guys You probably have enough decoys already, a guy can never have too many mounts

Hey Eric, can you give me the rough dimensions reguired for a three goose dead mount similar to the one you've displayed here. Roughly how much room would be required for the speck and snow mount if an average size Canada was added? I gotta measure first!

[aar]

for a very rough estimate I normally do 3 1X12 so 36" across and then make it around 32--34 inches tall. Hope it helps. You can make it bigger or smaller if needed. Just depends on where it needs to go and always have the option to alter the poses on the geese as their mounted to compensate plus or minus as well.

Hope it helps,

Eric
