I don't have one either -- it's pretty steep to get one done. But when I do, I will probably get a hanging dead mount.

Lol. I agree. But I have a buddy that's a taxidermist and I'm hoping he can act quickly and skin it out where I can get the meat
This is what we did with man's double bearded 24# bird.

Half strut gobbling on the limb. With freeze dried real head. Will send pic Monday as it's in my office, but it is my favorite mount and other folks' too.

I have one in full strut. the only way I mount one now is multi beard or big hooks like 1.5 or around that. I like them gobbling. just make sure you take it to a good taxidermist. turkey mounts can look terrible if it is mounted bad that my biggest advice to anyone looking at getting anything mounted. you get what you pay for.
Wish Id had this one mounted

Those are great looking mounts.

Mrs. Grizzly's first turkey:
My best bird to date, 1.5" spurs.

Never had one mounted for myself and said I wouldn't unless I killed one witha 12" beard. When iI did the spurs weren't all that so I didn't do it. I did mount my sons first one he killed when he was 8.

I remember the first bird I killed, scoring wise it was by far the best, but cost alone being newly married stopped me in my tracks, I just do all the fans up and dry them out. If I was to get one done, I think I would go with him strutting on a limb, all puffed up....one of these days, would have to be a special bird.....like the one I shot last year...last day of season, double bearded tom...but was in the middle of PCSing....

Ruger, that is a nice looking mount. Who did it?
The only other place I have seen that done was out in Utah, oddly enough.

No.I talked to him last year and he said he would start working on it again.He was mad because I posted about him on here.We talked and he said he would mount it.doubt that bird will ever be mounted.That's ok.I was mad but told him it's not that big a deal.There are so much more important things than a turkey.guess after 7 years of waiting on it I calmed down.lol

My cousin has one, inflight coming off the roost turned sideways from his second story loft over his fireplace. Best looking mount I have ever seen hands down.
If its been 7 years I wouldn't wait for a phone call. Who is this dead beat so we can avoid him?RAFI said:deerhunter10 said:
