Monstor Eastern Tom Finished *Willow Creek Taxidermy*
« on: April 08, 2011, 12:56:25 PM »
Hello all, I just got this huge Eastern Tom finished up.  He weighed in at 24 1/2 pounds with a 10 7/8 inch beard and 1 1/4 inch spurs.  There is no getting around it, he is just an amazing bird.  Hope you enjoy the pic's everyone.  John

Thanks everyone for all the nice compliments.  Those Easterns are neat birds.  On this bird, just below one of the spurs, you can see where he started to grow another one.  I will try and get a picture of it and post it.  Would have been nice if he had a double spur.  I don't think I have ever seen a double spur???  This bird came from Pennsylvania.  Thanks again everyone.  John

bowhunter, what part of Pennsylvania are you from?  This bird was shot somewhere in the SE corner of the state I think.  John
