Dead Mount Geese
A dead-mount goose hangs on a backer sized to the bird’s wingspan. Choose a single goose, a strap of two or three, or a full limit on one plaque — Canada, snow, blue, specklebelly or Ross’s. Canada geese are $800 and the others $675 per bird. Backers, such as shadow boxes, are priced separately, and group layouts are quoted per project.
What makes a great dead mount goose
A dead-mount goose has to read heavier than a dead-mount duck — it is a bigger bird with more body mass, and the drape of the neck and wings is what makes the pose convincing. We build single-bird dead mounts, strap mounts, and multi-goose group mounts on large custom backers.
Each goose is hand-skinned, fleshed, and washed before any pose work starts. The feather groups are re-set by hand after drying so the finished bird sits right when viewed from any angle.
Built the right way, every time
Every mount we deliver goes through the same meticulous process — no shortcuts, regardless of pose or species.
Scale-matched backers
Backers sized to goose wingspan so the mount does not feel cramped on the wall. Priced separately from the bird.
Single or grouped
Solo goose, strap of 2-3, or full limit mount on one plaque.
Species variety
Canada, snow, blue, specklebelly, Ross — dead mount style works for all of them.

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 process the bird
- Smooth feathers before bagging
- Tuck the bird’s head under its wing, place it in one or two Ziploc bags or garbage bags, and freeze it
- Label species, date, and any special requests
