Squirrel ranching in Kansas is a little different in areas where there are plenty of cornfields but not very many trees

Not a mount that I'm really proud of but this is probably the rarest bird I have ever mounted. It was very crudely necropsied and hard to salvage. On a temporary base, waiting to be included in a larger exhibit.

This was a perfectly mature pintail which apparently lost its "sprigs" right before it was killed. No problem! The replacements are made from trimmed and dyed pheasant feathers.

I normally mount turkey fans like this, with a rosette of trimmed rump feathers individually glued around where the beard attaches. This one had a custom-made panel which cost extra, but the mount itself is typical.
