Protect your harvest from the start.

Keep It Cold
Keep your harvest cool immediately after harvest and freeze if bringing it in later.

Proper Capering
Avoid cutting up the back of the neck on shoulder mounts; leave ample cape behind the shoulders.

Bird Handling
Do not gut game birds; keep feathers smooth and protect the head prior to freezing.
- 04
Consultation
Bring your ideas or reference photos to discuss preferred poses, direction, and habitat elements.
