Title: Albino Bearded Hen Turkey
Post by: WCTaxidermy on October 19, 2010, 02:36:42 PM: Hello all, I just finished mounting this awesome bird and wanted to share it with all of you. It is an Albino Hen with a 4 1/2 inch beard. It was harvested up here in the NE part of the state during the spring hunt and the hunter has been after her for 2 years. It was taken out of a group of Merriams. I think he is going to like the mount. Hope you enjoy the pic's. John
