Yes, they do strut while on the roost. Not always, but if the hens have already gathered underneath them, Yes they do strut on the limb. As far as your turkey mount goes; In plain words, it's horrible. Whoever mounted that had absolutely no clue what a strutting turkey looks like, no clue about mounting a turkey and obviously used no reference photos!! A lesson learned I guess. Next time, Please spend more time " scouting " for a good taxidermist, not a cheap taxidermist, than you do scouting the game you are after!
