Looks like you'll be getting plenty of turkey mounts turning out birds like that!

Well lets hope so. I am letting it dry for another week or so then going to put it on the base that I built for it...

Joe, did you use a freeze dried head?

[Turkeyman]

Great job! That is a nice Merriam's gobbler great spears.

Nice pre-strut mount...I have also seen them do that pre-poop    You got it right on both occasions.  I like how you did the head..Freeze-dried?  Good Job.  Turkeyman has good eyes..those spurs are how long? 1.25"?

Nice mount...probobly one of the best turkey mounts I've seen. Nice work.

Bone - Yes it is a freeze dried head- I had ordered a fake one got it in and was totally disgusted with it. Sent it back and ordered a freeze dried, looks 150% better in my opinion, will never use a fake one after seeing one.

Turkeyman / Yelp - The spurs are right at 1.25 inches



Bowhuntforever - Thank you....

All in all it was fun to do, a lot of work and hours put ito it with getting the feathers aligned.

Smart move going with freeze dried head the only way to go with a turkey mount.

Very nice work!

Turkeyman- after seeing both, I would not use anything but a freezedried head from now on.

Robb92- Thank You

Just wanted a nice looking base to put on his mantle. Made this one up for him, took a couple of hours so hoping he likes it now that it is complete

Great Job Joe, looks like you found your calling, you are a turkey taxi 

[BLKBEARKLR]

Thanks Charlie, I do not know about birds though, although I like doing them there is a lot of work in them. I am playing now with some fish. I will have to tell you a story next time we talk.

Very nice gobbler mount!!!

Well good things, customer came and got turkey yesterday, was super happy with it. I am glad that he liked it, but kind of sad that it is gone, was a nice little eye piece in the shop. Looks like I will have to go and get one this spring to mount up.
