Strutting Turkey
« on: December 20, 2009, 02:05:17 PM »
Here are a couple picture of a Struter that left the shop on the 8th. Couple of broken primaries on 1 wing, and a few missing brest feathers.  Not really good pictures.  Took them at the last minute when Todd_ID came to pick it up.  He is going to build a base for it and promised better pictures.

I pulled the story up on the bird.

Great mount. Love the pose. I like the heads with a bit more blue on them but it looks great. Thanks for posting.

The color on the head does not show up well on any of these pictures.  I used a flash in doors with a crapy to begin with camera and you know how that goes.  It makes any white wash everything out.  They are horrible pic's so I am hoping Todd_ID can provide some better ones when he gets it put on his base.

Great job Michelle. I know where to go if I ever kill anything worth mounting. :hunt2:

Thanks Guys.  I can't remember what the bird weighed alive.  I weighed it at 19lbs 7 oz. 

The biggest bird I have ever done was 26lbs.
