So last Saturday I shot a beautiful pintail. Im curious to what kind of mount should I do? I also have another pintail that my girlfriend shot. Any suggestions would also be great.

do a dead strap mount, cuz lets face it, your paying for both, so that way, when you break up, you can keep what you paid for.

I generally get my ideas off of this website.

here is mine



but that dead strap mount sounds nice if your relationship is on the fritz

thanks for the suggestions. Our relationship is fine. If im going to do a dead strap i will want 1 more pintail

Look at Birdworks.... He did a great flushing wall mount just this past week on a nice pintail

I would look at Todd with Birdman or Birdworks here locally ( I keep meaning to visit him on my way out west). Watch out for the "flattened pancake" or "stretched gooseneck" looking mounts a lot of these so called Taxidermists are turning out! Don't let someone that doesen't know what they are doing ruin your mount because you want to save a few bucks or get a fast turn around.
Here are 2 flying poses that work good with Pintails



Even though it's a Mallet, a Pintail can look good this way.



These mounts are over 25 yrs old so I would definetly check out the work of Birdworks or Birdman. Good Bird Taxidermy has come a long way from 25 yrs ago.

Birdworks...can't beat him. Like somebody else said, Birdman is a good place to look for posing ideas...he has a lot of pics on his website.

In my opinion, flushing away is the ideal pintail pose. But there are some very nice sitting poses as well.
