turkey heads, artificial or freeze dried?
My wife and I want to try and mount a wild turkey, we bought a video and a book just about doing turkeys, but the book doesn't recommend freeze dried heads, due to insects and such. I already have 1 full mount done with a freeze dried head done at a taxidermy shop and I love the way it looks. I talked with another guy, and he also uses freeze dried. So is the book misleading? Is freeze dried the choice of all you experts? If so, were do you get them done? How do I go about in shipping it? Or should I just get an artificial from Van Dykes or Mc Kenzie? We are only looking to do this for ourselves as a hobby, and to save money, not to start a business. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks!
