Dead Mount Ducks
The classic gallery-style mount — ducks presented as if freshly brought to hand, on a weathered board, wire, or custom wall plaque. Honest, timeless, heritage-driven.
What makes a great dead mount duck
A dead mount captures the bird the way hunters historically displayed their limit — draped naturally, feathers relaxed, often on a barnwood backer or hung from a decorative wire. Done right, it is one of the most honest, understated ways to preserve a duck.
We offer single-bird dead mounts, strap mounts, hanging mounts, and grouped dead mounts on custom-built backers. Every bird is inspected, skinned, fleshed, and washed before posing — the rustic look does not skip any craft steps.
Built the right way, every time
Every mount we deliver goes through the same meticulous process — no shortcuts, regardless of pose or species.
Custom backers

Get the most out of your bird
The 30 seconds after the bird hits the ground matter more than anything we do in the studio. Follow these basics to protect your mount:
- Do not gut or field-dress the bird
- Smooth feathers in natural direction
- Double-bag, label, freeze immediately
- Avoid freezer burn — press out all air
