| (Q):
How do I properly package a bird i'm interested in mounting
? |
(A)
As soon as you kill a bird that you are interested
in mounting, place the bird's head on it's back or
under it's wing. Place in a plastic bag(ice bags or
garbage bags work great) and DO NOT seal until the
bird has cooled down. Prior to placing into the freezer
seal the bag and remove as much air from the bag as
possible. DO NOT wrap in newspaper. It will pull the
moisture out of the bird and cause freezer burn very
quickly.
