Outlined below are
some tips on proper field care. If you find yourself unable to immediately
take your trophy to your taxidermist, the following tips will help ensure
that your trophy will be in the best condition possible for the
taxidermist.
-
Select a bird that has good color and has very little damage such
as broken feathers or bones. Wipe any blood off the feathers with a towel
and water. Plug the throat and nasal passages with a small piece of cotton
or paper towel to prevent any fluids from getting on the feathers. Wrap
the head and feet in wet paper towels. Place the bird in a plastic bag,
tucking the head under a wing, and roll up the bag, squeezing as much air
out as possible as you roll. Repeat the process with a second bag.
Eliminating as much air as possible will help prevent freezer burn.
