I want to mount the head of the first duck I ever shot, just to have a silly mount. I kind of want to do it myself, because I’m poor and cheap. It’s in my freezer. Can I get a home taxidermy kit or something? How about just somehow removing the flesh and having the skull and bill? (Will the bill rot away, or is it bone? What do I do with the tongue?) Thanks a lot for the help!
