Last Flight Waterfowl Taxidermy

Travis McLeod has been doing taxidermy since he was 12 years old, learning from his father who built a successful 30-year taxidermy business. Five years ago, he decided to specialize exclusively in waterfowl—ducks, geese, swans, and sea ducks—rather than chase a broad client base. That focus is the whole point.

Travis hunts sea ducks on the east coast and spring snow geese in Missouri. He understands what it feels like to finally get that trophy bird you've been waiting for. By specializing only in waterfowl, he dedicates all his time to making mounts that look lifelike and capture the bird exactly as you imagined it.

"I don't want to just mount a duck to your satisfaction. I want you to be so happy when you pick up your bird you can't wait for next waterfowl season to add another trophy to your wall."

• •Ducks – Mallards, teal, shovelers, and more
• •Geese & Swans – Canada geese, snow geese, and other species
• •Sea Ducks – Scoters, eiders, and coastal species
• •Upland Birds – Limited work on upland game birds

Customers consistently mention his attention to detail. One client who's used Last Flight for 10 waterfowl mounts over four years said the work is "outstanding quality at reasonable price" with "lifelike appearance." Another noted that Travis is "just as excited to mount ducks as he is to hunt them," and that passion shows in every mount.

You can see his recent work on Facebook, where he posts regularly with behind-the-scenes photos and videos of mounts in progress. To discuss your bird, email [email protected].

Whether it's a little teal or a giant Canada goose, your mount will be something you cherish for years.
