the following mounts have been done for Public display and a special permit is required for these specimens as regular albertans won't be able to obtain:




spring plumage pintail.



Varied Thrush:




Semi Palmated Sand piper and Golden Plover:






Peregrine falcon and Franklin's Gull:






and here is what I recommend to anyone instead of Rug;

and here are some none feathered:








Woodland Caribou...This Caribou is Alberta Record, was shot in 1965 and has been kept in the garage since then, eventually they decided to do something with the antlers that are little more presentable than hanging off of a nail in garage:






and a very good size Lynx from North:



Fisher's skin was provided by one of the Trappers who is a member on here..





and here is a good size Laker:
high detailed replica.

Love the saw whet on the fungus. The golden plover is also appealing to me.
Ben, you're amazing at what you do.

Unbelievable good. Those birds and mounts are amazing. I like the metal tag on the horn. Flash back to the old days of hunting.

Saw a hawk standing on a round bale just off the road yesterday. It was doing its best to look like one of your mounts. Incredible detail sir.
