Congrats... glad the hard work & time paid off! Beautiful bird.
I have a regular full strut mount on my largest. This is the only pic of it I have handy and it doesn't do it justice... very nice mount though..

Thanks! Beautiful mount you have there! I'm not big on the full strut mounts but that might change my mind!

Nice bird man!

Thank You, I was quoted $640.00 from an extremely talented shop I've used in the past for deer. They will freeze dry the head and that also includes a basic base set-up. My buddy had the breast meat taken from his when he dropped it off - but my bird is frozen so not sure I'll have a choice?

Awesome! Congrats on a great first bird!

Congrats on your first bird! I helped a buddy get his first yesterday and I'm sure he's hooked for life now. I kinda feel like a drug dealer getting someone hooked!?!?

Congrats on your first gobbler! A VERY nice one at that!!! :) I'm definitely gonna have one mounted some day - first I gotta kill one though! :) This would be a cool permanent thread with others to share their mount pics and stories as well! It was really a fun thread to read!

Kim :)

Nice bird! That is definetly something to be proud of. I just shot my 6th tom, and it was the very first one to have a bear longer than 9" (10") and heavier than 20lbs (21#). You've already conquered that. Congrats!

Congrats on a very nice bird.
