Turkey Taxidermy
« on: February 01, 2013, 11:33:55 AM »
Recently my son got his turkey back from the taxidermist, John at Willow Creek Taxidermy.  It really makes me jealous, I've never got a good tom worthy of mounting.  I wish we would have taken some pics outside in better light, these photos really don't do the mount justice.  My grandson, 16 months old, is just enthralled with the mount and makes an awesome turkey gobble when you ask him what the turkey says.  Hopefully this spring I'll get my own and I'd definitely recommend Willow Creek Taxidermy.

Beautiful bird. I was very satisfied with the work John did for me too.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.  hunting4sanity, it was a lot of fun working with your son.  I got to meet your Grandson in person, and he had his eyes on that Turkey right away.  That is one future hunter right there!  What a little cutie!  Thanks again for the nice compliments.  Talk with you soon.  John
