turkey tail from this year's first bird

[huntnma]

every bird i have harvested is either on cypress or cedar, but the very first.....so these are a couple of pics of the one tail mount i did of the first bird harvested this year, had the feet dried but they didnt work , so i had to cut the spurs off....it's not permanent so if you have any ideas to better it, let me know.....

Is that the same cypress stump you hit with your first shot?
Nice looking mount HM.

hm-Please understand I like the tail mount just as it is, but you asked for suggestions, so--
how about cutting the back half of the cypress piece off so it is flat to the tail and then you can wall mount the tail and beard?

Or a little plaque with the details--date, time, location, beard length, weight, spur length, etc. ?

Or put a picture of you and the turkey in a circle in the knob on top of the cypress piece near where the tail connects to the wood?

Or put a slate and striker on the "arms" of the wood?

All just suggestions since you asked. I really think the mount is neat as it is!!
