My taxi picked up my '07 bird from my home, Friday. When I went back to retrieve my arrow (from the location where I shot the bird)....I found that it was a clean pass-thru.....that had stuck into a deadfall limb. I was able to break the deadfall limb from the trunk of the downed tree.....and I'm going to have him mounted.....standing on that limb. I unscrewed the arrow from the broadhead......and the BH's still lodged in the limb. I thought this would give the mount a little "Character".

Does anyone have photos of their birds mounted standing? I really want him standing as tall as he can be made to.

Thanks, in advance, for your responses.

This isas tall and proud as you're going to find a Turkey mount.

I found this one on line... I really like the half strut look.
That is one pretty mount above...

that is a very nice mount...The next "big" bird I shot, I think I would like to have a full mount done where the gobbler is roosted on a limb.

Here's my only turkey mount. Not standing, but different, anyway. Really easy to keep clean - I eventually want my grand slam identically chest-mounted on four identical shields lined up on the wall. This bird was probably the nicest one I ever got - had a beard that pushed well over 11", and spurs that were 1.5. Good weight too. His spurs don't look all that long, b/c they're not curved as much as some of the other limbhangers I've got, and angled away from the camera,but they're actually the same length as his thumbs.

I'll have to take a better picture in good light someday.

I will mount my first 22+ lb MA bird w/ at least a 9" beard and 1+" spurs..
In the process of buying a new house... will have a nice room for it...
