Yelp, That is one sexy looking bird. :chuckle:  I would mount that in a minute.  OOOP's, I better add, if I were a turkey. :chuckle: :chuckle:  Good job.  John

It isn't that heavy.  I used the last one for three years..It got mounted to many times now the head is coming off.  I can salvage with epoxy.
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

John..looks nothing like what you can do.. It still looks like a hen..It will work.  I did it old school..Twine and excelsior wire for bodys with raw  cotton for stuffing.  I also used original skull with critter clay and glass eyes.  Hope this one holds up..but if a 22 lb longbeard busts her up..oh well..LOL :chuckle:

Thats a good idea. I might have to steal it.. The idea I mean
:chuckle: The mount should be easy to find in the field  :chuckle: Just find all the other turkeys pointing feathers and laughing  :chuckle:

Yelp I hope you know I'm JK  ;) Looks better than I could ever do!

LOL..Point away..I will be pointing something myself!  3 1/2 " worth...LOL
