Standing Goose Mounts

A standing goose sits on its own base, so plan for a shelf, table or mantel rather than wall space. Choose a sentry pose with the head high, an alert walker, a calling bird or a full strut, and a base style — stubble field, marsh edge, ice shelf or open grass. Canada geese are $800; snow, blue, specklebelly, Ross’s and brant are $675. Habitat bases are priced separately from the bird.

The craft

What makes a great standing goose mount

Standing goose mounts need to feel weighty — geese are big-bodied birds, and the pose has to read with appropriate presence. We build sentry poses (head high, neck vertical), alert walking poses, full-strut display poses, and relaxed standing variations.

Each bird is inspected, hand-skinned, fleshed, and washed before a form is matched. Custom habitat bases — field stubble, marsh edge, ice shelf, open grass — are built to order and priced separately from the bird.

What to expect

Built the right way, every time

Every mount we deliver goes through the same meticulous process — no shortcuts, regardless of pose or species.

Scale presence

Forms matched to goose size so the finished mount has the weight and height of the live bird.

Multiple postures

Sentry, alert, walking, calling, strutting — chosen to match your memory of the hunt.

Habitat bases

Stubble field, marsh edge, ice shelf, or open grass — hand-built and priced separately from the bird.

Field care

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:

  • Leave the goose whole — do not gut
  • Protect feathers by smoothing flat 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 with species, date, and location
