No its not my turkey, I have still not yet been lucky enough to get a turkey with my bow, but Im still trying. I did this tail fan mount for a older gentleman friend of ours. This was his first turkey. He took this jake in southern Illinois in the spring of 2002. So I thought Id share the photo with all of you. The items I used to make it are deer leather, rabbit fur, whitetail deer antler butttons, malachite stones and arrow head, Jakes beard and tail fan. Unfotuneatly it had gotten pretty beat around before he brought it to me to mount, but I still liked how it came out and it was fun doing it.

Well done. I gives me an idea.

That is an example of some really nice work you have done there, LF. Can't say as I have ever seen a tail fan done up like that. I'm impressed! MTT

Once again another piece of nice work!Thanks for sharing Lady Forge!<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Monarch isn't a butterfly it's the King of the Spring!

Thanks for the compliments folks! The best part of it all when doing mounts for friends is seeing their face break out in a ear to ear grin when they see the finished work of their trophy.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
