If you got a bird full body mounted which pose/position would you get it in? I really don't like the flying mounts. And any certain taxidermist? I have a triple bearded bird on camera down in South Alabama and it would be nice to know all these things before I rushed into something that is so rare in case I did get lucky and kill it.
I would love to post a pic of it to see what y'all thought and if it was a triple but I can't get it lower than the size allowed to post ???
gobbling. and he is quite a bit away from you but highway 7 taxidermy in santa fe Tennessee is one of the best taxidermist ive ever seen..
What's his business name?
good spur turkey looks good hanging dead with straps hanging from nail on a wall.
exceptional beard/beards look good on a limb gobbling.
To show off a beard, gobbling, walking, standing, half or quarter strut would all work. I went with gobbling on my bird from last year.

Mine was from Hazel Creek. You can call them for pricing. All across the board.
I've got one getting mounted now. The guy is in Nashville

He is doing a limb mount with the gobbler coming out of strut. Reasonably priced
Award winner at nwtf convention check him out
I have turkeys mounted in full strut, flying, upright posture, on the limb bending over looking down, half strut, on the limb half strut gobbling and Dead. My favorite mount is a dead mount.
