Which lad in Kerry did you get in contact with. I have a number for a guy in north Kerry if you want it. Well done by the way on your first birdy!

I got a bird mounted by a fella in Listowel last season, sound chap and work is top notch. €120 I paid as the bird was in a bad way when I gave it to him.
Ill mail you his details.

ya i rang him today and he said 120 for it done normal or if i want the bird flying it is 150. i also rang a lad in killarney who is 120 for it done normal and 140 for it flying and the lad in cork didnt answer the phone.

any one ever use Pinewood Taxidermy in Killarney before as they are the closest for me

What way did you opt for
Flying or standing?

i dont know what way yet which way would look best?

I have a flying pheasant mounted & am quite pleased with it.

I think a lot depends on where you intend to display the finished mount......a flying pheasant take up a good bit of space.








A flushing pheasant is another one to consider

i have decieded that i wont get the pheasant stuffed as after i looked at him again he aint nothing great so i will get one done sometime hopefully by the end of the season but not this one as i want one that has a longer tail and maybe a bit bigger. but one thing i know now is that who i will be going to the kurt fella in killarney.
