How to
Everything you need to send me a bird.
How to save the bird after the shot, pack it, fill out the tag, and get it to me in shape for a feather mount. Ducks, turkeys, and upland birds, from anywhere in the country.
Book your slot
Message me with the bird and the board you want. We settle the layout, a deposit holds your build slot, and I send you the shipping address.
Save the bird right
Wipe off blood with cold water, let it cool, put a paper towel in the beak, double bag it with the air squeezed out, and freeze it solid.
Fill out the bird tag
Print the bird tag, fill it out, sign it, and put it in the box. Federal law requires a signed tag on any duck or goose left with a taxidermist.
Ship it Monday or Tuesday
Styrofoam cooler inside a box, UPS or FedEx overnight, early in the week. Text or email me the tracking number.
Guides
Pick your bird.
The details change a little by species, mostly around whether you can keep the meat.
How to save a duck
What to do in the field, how to freeze it, and when you can breast it out and still get the board you want.
Sending a turkey
Turkeys can be caped out so you keep the meat. Freeze it, double bag it, and ship it the same way as a duck.
Packing and shipping
Every step from the freezer to my door, with costs, cleaning fees, and Billings drop-off.
