I get a very narrow window to mount some birds on the weekend between hunting season and kids spring sports. Started a big dead mount of 11 birds from 2014 trip.

For those on here into taxidermy- try out the new Shane smith bodies. They eliminate the need for firm modification. I ordered a mixed bunch of sizes and used the redhead for the surf and flying woodie for the Harli.


Back split surf.

Do you sleep? Between a business, hunting, managing a ranch and a family, not to mention this art work, you can't have much time to smell the roses.

Looking good btw. Keep posting the pics.

Just amazing work! The beast taxidermist that does it as a hobby.

Don't forget arrowhead hunting as well.

Work hard!! Play harder!!!!!!!! Occasionally I do feel like the Tasmanian devil – completely mowing the roses down instead of stopping and smelling them.....

That hobby has suffered lately but I'm hoping to get out with the boys and dig a day or two during spring break.

We went once while at the lease. 3 heart breakers is all we could find. The two on the left have been declared Bonham bird points 400-700 years old. I am not completely sold on Bonham for the middle one though. Look at the bifurcated, perdinales like base. I have not seen any references to a bifurcated base on any Bonham. So the jury panel has declared Bonham but I am hesitant.
