Not bad, but fan is a little off center. As for the shotgun shell, I would cut off the plastic and glue the beard into the brass. Trust me it would look better. You got a turkey mounted, dang $$$$$$$. I dont know what its costing you but around me it costs $450 and up. No thanks!!! Ive shot 3 good toms and would have liked to had atleast 1 mounted, but didnt want to dish out the moola, plus Ive got a deer and a fox in now and another fox to take in. I was going to go hog hunting this year but money was an issue so I couldve had a hog at the taxidermist to. Talk about expensive.

I've got one at the taxidermist's right now too. And, I've got my second fan and beard coated with Borax tacked to a piece of cardboard.

Nice job. I hope I can come up with an acceptable looking fan mount. Does anyone have the website for Van Dykes?

I think you did a great job! You should be proud. I took my brid in for a fan, back feathers, breast feathers, beard and spurs mount. I can't wait to get it back. They said about 3 months. I will share it with everyone when I get it back.

ONLY 3 MONTHS? dang my tazidermist said it would be 8-9 months, but then again she is one of the best in the state so she would probably have alot of work which is understandable. heres a pic of him before...

Congratulations on a great looking bird! Three months was the estimate for mine, but it's a wait and see game.
