[QUOTE="KDM, post: 118452, member: 314"] IF, and I do mean IF, an artist will take the job, you will be looking at an expensive mount. IMO, about 2k. Chris Cantler at Aber taxidermy won't touch one for less. They are apparently the epitome of "pain in the azz" for waterfowl to deal with as far as taxidermy is concerned and without a primo specimen with zero pin feathers and fully mature, they apparently don't look very good when complete. The greasy fat and other oils they have combined with sheer size and difficulty to work with makes him queasy just thinking about them. Basically, he refuses to "put his name" on one unless it will make a good mount. When I asked him about doing one, he got pretty spun up about why he doesn't like them. [/QUOTE]
