i fish rivers, and prefer roach or skimmers. but i use perch anall.biggest i'v had is just under 20lb. my mate put a jack on of about 3lb. he got a 31lb river pike off it..
barn owls are not the easiest bird to start taxidermy with,, you'd be better freezing the bird and practicing on easier more user friendly birds like jays and partridges..
thanks lads yes i get foriegn stuff.. allsorts i'v worked on all kinda birds toucans 'owl's' parrots, sea birds, eagles, song birds , waders. allsorts..
