TBT -- one I did a number of years ago.
I am hoping to make it up to hunt them next week so I was looking thru some old photos of my mounts and came across this one. : )

 

Here's one I just fixed up for a friend of mine.
It fell off his wall and had a broken wing and ruffled feathers. He wanted me to dissect it to see if I could learn anything from it.
I told him it was too nice of a mount to destroy.
I was surprised that the broken wing had no internal wiring of any sort. There was a U-shaped support wire pushed into the body that
held the wing up in place while it dried. I don't know how the upper wing bone was attached to the body.
Sure is a nicely done mount. Perhaps it will give one of you some inspiration too.
My friend won it at a banquet.
I should of done a before and after photo . . .
