Title: new turkey mount.
Post by: A. Felix on April 29, 2012, 09:26:30 PM
Got my bird from last year back today.  i swung by McHugh's Taxidermy on the way home from hunting.  Didn't get a turkey this year so this guy really cheered me up.

it was McHughs Taxidermy out of Plainview,MN.  He has won all sorts of state and national awards.  I figured, since there is so much work into getting a turkey to look good I'd spend a little more and use "the best around".  I'm blown away by the quality and how realistic it is.

thanks vh, i am proud.  you should have seen the drive home.  we had a 3 hr drive and had to fit it in the back of the pickup.  there was about an inch on all sides of space and i kelp the beak the hole way so it wouldn't rub on turns or bumps.

That is the most realistic head and head colors I have ever seen on a mount.  It looks great!

I know that I am not the first to say this, but that really is a great looking mount. I like the placement of the feet, it is a very natural stance. The base is simple, but nicely detailed. And the head is great looking, very lifelike. You and your taxidermist can be proud.

Now for the inevitable question. How much?

That's awesome! I've never seen one that good that wasn't mounted specifically for competition. Very nice.
