Title: Turkey Mounts
Post by: emac on May 04, 2011, 08:39:31 PM: I was just wondering if anyone has any pictures they would like to share of any turkeys they have had mounted. I got one this year that has a 9 3/4 in bird that i am getting mounted so i just wanted to see some different posses. I got an idea of what i want done but would like some other ideas. Will post pics of my birds when i find my camera.

Thanks

You probably need to open them in a program that you can resize them. Reduce them to like 50% and they should post. Also you can try posting one at a time.

:chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
I feel your pain! I get away with a lot of the stuff I bring home but I think the wife would have a melt down if I brought home a mounted Tom :chuckle: I desperately need myself a man cave. One of these days. My Tom from this year would have been a good candidate size wise for a mount, but his tail fan wasn't as impressive as I've seen. Someday I'll have John at WC do me up a turkey rug. I think those are really cool too.
