Default What should I do in the event....

That I get a turkey worth mounting??? I know its a long shot that I actually put a turkey down this season but in the event that I actually do kill one and I want to have him mounted, either full mount or lets say a fan tail professionally done. What are the steps I should take from the time I retrieve the bird to taxidermist? Do I clean him myself(skin, gut, etc) or should I leave that up to the taxi? Obviously I am still going to want the meat but I once heard it said that if you were going to mount a bird you should not clean the bird yourself in the chance you mess up the feathers or what not. What do you recommend?
