Instructions To Preserve Birds For Taxidermy:

Handle the birds gently in the field and treat them with care between the hunt and delivering to us for taxidermy. 

Wrap the bird in TP or paper towels to absorb blood & moisture,

place gently in a plastic bag and freeze the bird whole as soon as possible.

​

​

These things may negatively affect the ability to get your bird taxidermied:

• Do not "ring" the neck, the feathers will be damaged and likely fall out.

• Check your bird carefully for damage, missing feathers, pin feathers, also any holes or broken wings and inform us so we can determine if taxidermy is possible.

• Do not bend the wings, or any other parts when putting in the freezer.  

• There is no need to use panty hose and do NOT freeze in water!

​​

We will assess the condition of your birds to determine if taxidermy is possible:

we may not be able to taxidermy birds shot with rifle's or handguns if the bird is "shot up" with parts and pieces missing,  with holes in the body or wings, or a large amount of feathers shot off.  You'd be shocked what we see sometimes!!

For grouse & ptarmigan we personally use a 20 gauge shot gun, with 6 or 7.5 shot. 

 

For Waterfowl Hunting (or any hunting) It Is Your Responsibility To Know & Follow All Laws and Regulations!

For Future Reference When We Return To Providing Waterfowl Service:

All Waterfowl will require a deposit, along with the completion of federal paperwork, including your hunting license number, date and location of harvest and signature of the hunter upon receipt of bird.
