Here is the piebald coot I shot this past season and Lowell Shapley with Gulf Coast Waterfowl is mounting it for me. I was gonna wait til the finished product but just had to share the progress so far! It will be stepping onto a Lily pad that will be on water made out of resin . All he has left to do is put it on the base and its ready to come home. What do y'all think?

Now we are talking.

Glad im not the only one.

I can't get over the feet, they really creep me out.

Awesome.

I've been watching his work for years over on taxi.net.
He does great work.

Beats the hell out of the ole cookie cutter flying mallard. I like the way they created motion with the forward weight distribution.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that!! LOL

That's cool, those feet look like something from the creature from the black lagoon lol.

It looks prehistoric.

Freakishly cool!!

Best gizzard you will ever eat!!!!!

Finished product!! Lowell at gulf coast waterfowl did a great job!

Thats crazy. Ida got it mounted too. Pretty cool!

That's a great looking mount!! Does anyone now of a taxidermy in the East Texas area that does good work with reasonable pricing?? Thanks.

Finally somebody that knows how to cook. The gizzard on those things is about the size of baseball. I'm not quite sure how it fits in there. They do make the best dirty rice you will ever eat.

Not sure about the East Texas area and where you are, but Steve German in Westlake Louisiana does outstanding work. There's also a guy named Kevin in Shreveport that does good work but I can't remember his last name.

Where bout in East Texas??
