Submitted by mike on 09/03/2002. ( ) 65.193.73.222

im doing a pheasant for the first time and its to be a flying mount. i think i know how to position the legs but how should the feet appear. i want it to look really good even from the wall side.ive looked at magazines and catalogs but the feet are always covered somehow. should they be fully clenched,partialy clenched or free hanging?thanks and thank everyone for there input on my fish endeavors(wetnwild taxidermy guy is an awsome taxidermist check out his site!)

Hey Mike,
Living in IA and in the county with the best population of pheasants I have my flying pheasants feet partially clinched and to answer your other question the legs are tucked up to the body pretty much when they are flying.
Hope this helps you out and good luck with your first flying pheasant.
If you have anymore questions ,feel free to email me .......Jeff
