    FYI, looks like it's in good condition, so a rug might be in order.
    Didn't have to track it but I had to drag it a fair ways so one one side of his body had a bit of a rub on it. That part of it will be up against the wall according to the taxidermist so not a big issue.

    When in doubt, just pin it.

    Ganders in Surrey used to be a great place to deal with; just haven’t been there in a few years. They did an owl for me and it turned out great.
    I'v had numerous birds done by Rick Gander and never been disappointed, does a great job. You'll have to tell your friend to expect to pay more for a waterfowl mount compared to a rapture or upland game bird mount because waterfowl have more fat and is more labor intensive (takes more time to get all the fat off the skin).

    Thank all. Most of you were extremely helpful. Not bad really given some threads I’ve read.
    Enjoy the fresh air, breath in deep, look around and soak it all up.
