Probably the neatest/most original mount I've ever seen.

You are killing me Matt! I already told the wife the Merganser you are doing for me will go on the mantle.  As always, excellent work! Very cool scene!

Matt,
just saw a hooded merganser that Brent (vogler) did. you have taught him well. He is gong to start doing all my wholesale birds. THAT is great news ...I had 7 people call me the year I took Brent on as a student and I'm so glad that I had him come for training. After talking to all of them, I knew he had been putting in the work and was the one I should take on as an apprentice. He knows the road is long, but he definately has the feel for feathers and I believe he is going to be a great birdman! Thanks for letting me know  - Matt
