Very nice mount of a stud gobbler!

Very nice Joe.  That mount really shows off those big hooks.  How many of the birds that you take do you mount?

Hawk I've only mounted 3 of my gobblers. I had 5 others mounted over the years. Cally Morris mounted 4 of them and my first was mounted by a local guy. 2 of my mounts are trashed, one being my Goulds turkey that was smashed by a labrador puppy. The dead turkey I mounted because I had alot of history with this gobbler. He was practically in my back yard and I knew he was at least 6 years old. I decided that he had lived long enough. I thought that if I was able to kill him I would mount him. He has 1 1/4" hooks and 10 1/8" beard and was 22.3 lbs. So it was a no brainer to mount him. Then the very next day I killed Edward Scissorhand. I just had to mount those 1 5/8" hooks. So I have 6 full body mounts now. 3 Rios, 1 Merriam, 1 Eastern, and 1 Osceola.
