Looking for turkey mount ideas.

Unread postby Black Squirrel » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:01 am

Anybody have some unique turkey mounting ideas? I don't want to a full body mount, but would like to do something with the tail, beard, and spurs, for my daughters turkey.

I will post pics of one I did two years ago with both feet, the beard, the tail fan and the wings on a walnut panel. Cost me about 20 bucks for everything to do it and it looks way better than the imitation particle chip board kits they sell everywhere.

I did the one with the round walnut plaque, a taxidermist did the other one on barn board.

I caped Hannah's first gobbler, just skin from the tail down to the head, either keeping the wings attached or cut them off (you can follow the feather line on the back all the way down, don't save any skin from the breast side,until you get to the beard). Once you are done you can have the Taxi mount it with the tail at the top and the head hanging down, it will lay flat to the wall and shouldn't cost more than about $120. The only downside to this is you can't really show off the spurs. The most inexpensive way would be to save the tail, beard , and spurs and mount them on a plaque.
