RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

I started out when I was 11, now I' m 15, I' ve taken 3 birds in the past 4 years, but, being so young and not having a boat load of money to spend, I' ve been stuck with the regular store-bought fan mounts... Nothing too fancy, but I' m proud of them! :D

Picture isnt all that great, BTW... :(

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

W.H. Very nice aswell ...BT

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

Now that' s some great mount' s. I can' t wait to get mine back from the Tax man.

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

BHW - How much does a mount like that usually run?

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

Very [8D]stuff guys!!!

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

Awesome mounts everybody those are beautiful

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

Great mounts--makes me homesick for hunting turkeys!! Can' t wait for next season to get here.

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

BHW, those are nice, how much does it cost for those half body mounts? Or a full body strutting mount? Or that tree perched tom? I' d like to mount the next turkey I get...it' d be an awesome decoration for the apartment here at school...

All i have is a turkey fan...I' ll take a pic of it and post it when I go home this weekend.

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!

Gang,

Just got this double beard mount from the taxidermist today! The colors are better in real life than in the pic. It is my best mount yet!!

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

Great looking birds, I' m looking forward to getting one mounted next year!!
Thanks for posting the pics.[8D]

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

Mookyj and bhw, great looking mounts!! Thanks for sharing those!!;)

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

I have a turkey mount but now it don' t look so good.My siemese cat thought it would make a good bed and laid down on the top of it and pushed all the feathers down.Then if that wasn' t bad enough we were moving my sons room around and he pulled the head off.I can' t remember why it was setting on the floor but when I turned around he had it in his hand and I said NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

shawnee,

Both occurances you mention are my biggest fears!!!! My daughter wants a kitten and I' m leary about it. So far, my infant son only points to the mounts and does a funny yelps series ( I can' t get him to gobble )

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

mookyj-
how big are those hooks on the mount facing right? I have a two inch spurred full mount from Southern Indiana? just curious they look about that.

RE: Let' s show our MOUNTS!!
 

Hey 14mercs! [8D]

The bird I have on the limb facing right is my best to date. Won two turkey contests with him, and it help pay for the mount, plus a muskie fishing trip in Ottawa.
