The Bovasin Outdoor Chronicles

Birds of a Feather

Season 3 Episode 2

In this episode, we sit down with local taxidermist Adam Hagenston to talk all things wings, feathers, and mounts. From field prep and bird care to the art and patience behind a quality mount, Adam breaks down the full process of turning your favorite hunt into a lasting piece of work.

We cover everything from how to dispatch and handle birds, what separates a good mount from a great one, and why hunters choose to preserve their birds in the first place. Of course, we also share which birds we love to chase — and which ones we’d proudly hang on the wall.

And in true Bovasin fashion, there’s a fair bit of out-of-stater griping, laughs, and the usual brotherly banter that makes the show what it is.
