Plumage, Venison and Taxidermy
Plucking
If you are in charge of plucking your killed game during your hunting trip, the easiest way to do it is to use a plucker.
The pluckers from Ducatillon Austria are wet pluckers. You simply soak your game in hot water and place it in the feathering machine which will do the work for you. You can find medium or large pluckers depending on the size of the game you have to pluck.
The essential accessories to have for plucking are:
- - A dipping tank, to prepare the animal for plucking.
- - Fingers for plucking machines, to replace the worn fingers of the machine.
- - A canvas bag, to collect the feathers.
- - A flashlight, for the finishing touches.
Venison
The word "venison" refers to the meat of large game such as deer, fallow deer, roe deer, wild boar. When the hunter wants to consume the meat of the slaughtered animal, he must equip himself with the best accessories to avoid damaging the meat when cutting it.
To do this, you can start by hanging your animal on a butchering line. You can use a manual winch or an electric hoist to lift the game if it is too heavy. Using a digital scale will allow you to know in advance the weight of the animal to be butchered. Our electronic scales can weigh game from 0 to 250 kg.
After having equipped yourself with butchering gloves, you can use an electric saber saw or a bone saw to make the big cuts. Butchering knives are also useful for small handling and finishing.
When your meat is cut, use our venison transport bags to maintain the quality and freshness of your meat.
Taxidermy
This activity allows you to give a living spirit to dead animals, to expose your hunting catch. You can find, for example, boar heads on badges.
These patches made of dark waxed oak come in different forms:
- - Foot of honor
- - Heart
- - Round plate
Ducatillon Austria offers small accessories to make your animal even more realistic. You will find oak leaves in bronze or aluminum.
Synthetic resin and wax sticks can be assets if you wish to reconstitute the tusks of a boar.
