Very nice mount!  That bird looks huge...is it a 'Jumbo' or a very large wild pheasant? |

it was pen raised but just your stander ring neck . i had two that were a little bigger than the rest .i think they fluffed it up some . i gave one to a buddy and of course i kept this one . i figured if i was going to pay to have one mounted it was'nt going to be a wild one that i shot a bunch of feathers out of .i've shot a few but by the time the dog gets it back to me there a mess . so i cheated .

Smart move...the better the bird, the better the mount.
I have customers bring in shot up birds, broken wings, missing feathers, etc. and it's harder to make the mount look good when they're all banged up like that.

i forgot to say thanks . they lady that done it is great at what she does . if by some chance i get to turkey hunt this spring i think i'll have her do a full body mount . she had about 6 in her shop that were wonderful . i wish i did'nt have so many hobbys i'd give it a try .

nockbuster,
If you just want the fan or back mount, it isn't that hard to do yourself. Just get Todd Triplett's Turkey Taxidermy book. It explains the process pretty well.
A full body or breast mount, would be best left to the pro's, but there is good information on field care in Todd's book as well. I just got a copy for $7 at Amazon.com's second-hand bookstore.
