Question Ruffed Grouse Mounts

Anyone have a good example?

I had a big Male done quite a while back and I don't think he used the right mold. It was only $90 with a birch fork I cut just a short distance away and he included a birch colored plaque so I didn't get robbed but it's not what I was hoping for. It looks like a duck in a ditch chicken outfit.

Would love to see a few examples from Bird Taxidermists (I provided a second bird for any fill feathers he may have needed to.

Secondly, what is the best way to "dust" a mounted bird?

Hi there! i've found the best way to clean birds it to actually use a compressor and lower PSI setting to blow the dust off. I have some examples of grouse on my site at: Mounts For Sale.com
Take a look for drumming pose as well as relaxed look...

Sorry the link didn't work.

I would love to see your work though!

What about Lacquer Thinner? Someone suggested that to me. Just lightly brushing with a microfiber cloth or the like?

Compressor, I have but I'm afraid I muck up the mount with too much pressure.

PS: shoot me a PM with your site. I'm seriously interested in your response.
