If I were to get a full body mount of a turkey, would I be able to eat the meat? If so, what steps should I do in order to preserve the turkey until I can get it to the shop? The shop is closed on the weekends.
Yes, you can eat the meat, prolly just the breast though. tell the taxidermist you want the meat or if you are you are good breast him out yourself, don't pluck or lose any feathers though. Put the turkey in a bag in the freezer.I mounted my own turkey on Monday. It was hard work on the first one but I learned alot.
