Van Dykes Turkey Mount

[BIRD DOG]

Does anyone have a mount like this? If so - can you post a pic - I had a turkey mounted in full strut but the taxidermist did a horrible job - like his first jobever on a bird- I plan on taking the tail from the mount and the beard - being that it was a 28 pound monster with a 12-13 inch beard that makes any brush look small I hate for people to go - what is that a prehistoric version of a wild turkey? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you want a fantastic turkey mount, go to Hazel Creek. Cally Morris is a World Champion. www.hazelcreekturkey.com

I don't blame you for wanting to correct that mount based on it's size. Just for $hits and giggles, would you mind posting a picture of your prehistoric mount?

Sure thing zubba - It will take a couple of days - maybe this weekend - I will post it under the same thread - you guys will get a big kick out of this one - I got a good screwing - I refuse to let the thing go - I want to save the beard and try saving the fan!

Bird Dog ~ not only so much to get a kick out of it. But maybe we can offer some suggestions after seeing a picture of it.

That is a good idea zubba - I have another Turkey mounted flying - he did a good job on that one - I will also take a pic of it - I have done some of my own handy work with tail fans - Believe it or not-I believe than I could have done a better job mounting this strutting tom going into it blindfolded - you a probably going to pick yourself up out of the floor! I will post this weekend if not tonight!
