Waterfowl taxidermy questions.

What duck and goose mounts do you do?

Flying or standing, on a table base or a wall base, with scenery if you want it.

Does mounting ducks and geese take a federal license?

Yes. Ducks and geese are migratory birds, so the taxidermist needs a federal permit as well as the state license. Bryan is state and federally licensed.

How long does a waterfowl mount take?

Right now nothing will exceed 12 months from the date you drop your bird off unless otherwise discussed. In many cases the turnaround time is 4 to 8 months. Expedited work can be handled, case by case.

What do I need when I drop off a duck or goose?

As a licensed taxidermist in Maryland, Bryan documents several fields when you drop off your bird: name, license or state ID, address, phone number, confirmation number if applicable, harvest date and harvest location. Write it on the tag you keep with the animal, and take a screenshot of your harvest record if you check it in electronically.

How should I keep the bird until I bring it in?

In general, keep your bird cool and dry and get it to Bryan as soon as is feasible. If you are freezing it for an extended period, keep it in a sealed plastic bag and remove as much air as possible.

Also mounted at the shop: deer taxidermy, turkey taxidermy, predator taxidermy. Or see every mount and the gallery.
