I am sure you have seen on tv where hunters have used basically stuffed hens as decoys. Matt Morrett and Eddie Salter do it frequently on HS. Strut's productions. Here in NC we have a winter season in which we can take a hen. I am caught up in the idea of taking a hen and finding a taxidermy book and suppliesand trying to mount the hen into a useable decoy for spring season. I would do it on my own to try and save money. But I want a realistic looking, functionaldecoy. Is my idea feasible or would i be just as well off to just pay 2-300 bucks to a taxidermist. I don't need an award winning mount because it will just get messed up in the woods. If I wanted a beautiful mount of course I would pay to have it done. What do you guys think? Thanks so much.
