Brayden Anderson of BA Taxidermy in Granite Falls, MN shares some tips for taking care of trophy waterfowl and upland birds in the field to help ensure the best mount possible to preserve the memory for years to come.

September 1st! Another archery season has begun (in some states)! New regulation changes in Minnesota this year. You can now import deer heads back into Minnesota without capping them as long as they are brought to a taxidermist within 48 hours.

If you are going to cape one and bring them to a taxidermist make sure you leave plenty of cape. There is no reason to cut a deer cape short or all the way up the brisket. See the picture below as I cut them about half way between the front and rear legs. I also don’t cut through the ribs while gutting deer.

When caping a skull I prefer a small Y incision like I have pictured, there is no reason to skin the deer all the way down the back of the neck. It’s just 2 extra hours of sewing on my end. And more difficult to hide the seam. Be careful around the eyes nose and lips.

Good luck and shoot straight this fall.

Semi upright, looking straight with ears forward was a first for me. Although every mount in the 90’s and earlier were on similar forms.

Currently have a whole flock of roosters on my wall after mounting 3 more this week. I will post some more pics once they’re all dry.

Here’s a little behind the scenes on a pin feathered bird from early season. Showing how easy these immature feathers fall out. I’ll add a picture in the comments of the inside of the skin. In the picture you can see all the blue feather quills that’s are full of blood and not fully mature.
