Default Just Got My Mount Back!!

Picked up my Gobbler on Friday, so pumped it came out awesome. I could not have asked for a better first Turkey & mount!
This is just what he looked like a split second before #4 shot ruined his day!

There ya go ~ now get yourself a real good soft bristle paint brush - is what I use to clean mine.

Always stroke in the direction the feathers are pointing.

Say is that yor real head as in freezw dried or plastic?

Congrats man, that mount looks great. The first bird I had mounted didnt turn out so well, the guy did a terrible job. I still have it, but have tought about use as a decoy. I think it resembles a turkey enough for that. Lol.
