After just shy of a year at the taxi I finally got him back. I think that Brad did a hell of a job (Coulson's Taxidermy in Ankeny, Iowa). I worried after I first took him in because all I looked at was his hood and other feathers, never got into the tan and zebra feathers so I was worried they didn't look good. Man was I wrong! What do ya'll think?

Last picture I thought was kinda cool...zebra feathers and his tan

This year I'm out for a big drake mallard or a really nice pintail to put on the wall...

The guys name is Brad Coulson and he owns Coulson's Taxidermy. The shop is actually in Saydell (just off of highway 69 by the caseys). That mount ran a little over 300, but well worth it in my opinion. I wouldn't trust a bird like that to anyone but Brad or Cory Cauruthers (spelling) and both will run you in the 300's for a duck. Brads number to his shop is 515-289-2789 and he will give you his prices.
