The Complete Guide to Waterfowl Taxidermy - How to Prepare and Preserve Ducks and Geese (Hardcover)

Have you ever had an especially memorable day in the marshes, when flocks of ducks or geese filled the skies and came willingly to your calls, turning to land among your decoys in wave after wave? To preserve those memories, many hunters like to preserve their birds-be they Canada geese, mallards, wood ducks, bluebills, or teal-by taking them to a taxidermist and having them mounted for permanent display in dens or trophy rooms.
But having a bird professionally mounted can be expensive, so these days many hunters are opting to preserve ducks and geese themselves. And for these do-it-yourself taxidermists, The Complete Guide to Waterfowl Taxidermy is the perfect book. Written by master taxidermist Todd Triplett, this ultimate guide covers all aspects of the art of waterfowl taxidermy.
Included are detailed, easy-to-follow chapters on:
Proper field care
Waterfowl anatomy and reference
Tools and materials
Skinning and degreasing methods
Methods of preservation
General mounting procedures
Flying and standing poses
Using artificial parts
Base attachment
And much more
