Well I got her drying can't wait..Hopefully she will last..my old stuffer got mounted too many times. :yike: I still have her and will repair her as a back up. I mounted her legs a little back this time and used a heavier wire..I hope she holds up. Shes so cute you want to kiss her! :chuckle:
Gobble Gobble! :)

Don't let her get to sticky :IBCOOL: :chuckle:

Yelp, if you leave mounting them to the toms, they last a lot longer. :P

That will be the new tag line for my taxidermy..LOL.
My list of excuses????
I made her that way on purpose.
The ugly ones need loving too.
It was cheap.
She was a goose when I started!
They always look better at Thanksgiving!
The best one: I only shoot stupid gobblers!

Hey Yelp,
Nice looking stuffer!! Wanna trade? My stuffer is a young Jake from a Fall hunt that we tried to turn into a he/she stuffer!! :yike:
The toms have not tried to mount the he/she stuffer yet! What am I doing wrong? :chuckle: :chuckle: Should I advertise "it" in the classifieds?
-
Good looking stuffer Yelp. What would one of those cost ?

:yike: glad I'm not a turkey :puke:

: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!

how do the stuffers hold up when they get wet and how heavy is it?
-
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.

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:
