PHE 410 and mount

[Rod N. Gunn]

It beats the hell out of the pheasant mount that you can order from Bass Pro Shop that's for G** D*** sure.

[C.O.B.]

I like the effect of a "dead" mount and had one done with ducks. this IMHO just doesn't quite look dead more like it's flying into the ground. Just my thought and perhaps its the camera angle.

It does give me an idea for my next taxidermy project as I love the incorporation of the fence post. Alas I don't have a .410 to with the mount

nice....... wish I had someplace big enough to have one..... double wides are a bitch for mounts like that , and shoulder mount bull elk

Rich - I wouldn't worry about the lack of a .410. Just get Mr. Murphy's lamp gun

Rich, My observation was similar to yours and thought perhaps the Mount may have been a wounded Pheasant falling hard from the fence post top in a flapping death dive to the ground... I suppose a shot like that would be possible at close range with a 410, but can't really say for sure having never seen anything quite like this before... You may be right though, could just be the camera angle...

Best, CSL
