Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default 2004 tail mount

My wife says the tail mount is ok but the wings are just "TOO MUCH". I dont know. What do you think?

The tail mount would certainly look good alone, but it's your gobbler, and you have every right to be proud of it, wings and all.

I'm not a real fan of the wings... I've only seen one or two mounts with wings that I actually thought looked good, but it could just be me.

I really like the fan mount though, looks awsome!

I'm not a big fan of the wings w/ the fan mount. That's just my opinion.

I like what you have done but the tail mount would still look good by it self.

I like the fan mount. I would like the wing mount if the rest of the bird was with it

an idea ; take the wings and flip them around.take the right wing and piu on the left side and the left and put on the right,then pull them under the tail mount.that way it looks like a strutting bird.
you have to swap them around to look right.then it will be one mount and the little woman may like it better.
just a thought.
