Flying Turkey Mount
« on: August 14, 2009, 05:32:44 PM »
Here is a 22 pound Merriam fresh off the bench drying.  I think I will take a break from Turkeys for a while and mount something small for a change :chuckle:  Talk with you soon.  John

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Among many other things I want mounted a turkey is on the top 3 on my list. Looks like I found the guy to do it.

Bucky,
I know where a big one is with my name on it and I'll let you have his lil brother. Be ready this next spring!!!!
