Hard to get a good picture with the acrylic case over them. At least with my photography skills


Here's a side angle view

 

Stunning WA!!

 

You always pull off a nice Amherst or golden. I don’t think mine ever looked that good alive!

 

A favorite of a lot of duck hunters, a drake pintail. I love mounting them when they are prime. Enjoy, Paul.

 

A nice late season drake gw teal. Usually they are not around at the end of the season. I got lucky shooting this prime specimen. The side pockets were the nicest that I have had the chance to mount. Lots of feathers to work with.

 

Leaving the shop

 

A lot of great work here. I could only wish to create birds that looks as good! Maybe one day if I ever retire... I will have the time to really work on my skills.

 

I will second that. With my age, shaky hands and arthritis I don't see me getting great at this art.

Outstanding detail wa. Is that the same bird in all those photos? The eyes look like a different color. Is it the camera or me?

2 I think. One facing up the log, the other facing down

 

Brooke,
Please check PM. Thanks.

For those wondering, the PM notification on here isn't working lately.

I have been trying to get better at birds and have finished up a few in the past couple weeks. The toucrow was interesting and I have some ideas for another one in the future. A cool concept though. The woodcock was way out of my league but it was my first attempt at one for myself so I gave it a shot and ended up screwing it up so I turned it into a dead mount. Awesome birds everyone.
