Here's what I did. Already had a couple of full body mount easterns and didn't have room, or the funds for 4 more.

Vicksburg, love the mounted fan display, i was thinking about something along that line if i ever get a Slam, only 1/2 way there
It's not a passion, It's an OBSESSION

Thanks for your input BigEz, I would love to see a pic of your merriam if you have one handy, sounds like a beauty.

Vicksburg, thanks for sharing, that is a really cool idea and looks great. Single season slam makes it that much better.

Gslam95, thanks for sharing. I love how white that goulds is. I notice sometimes that merriams can look more gold than white, resembling a rio. Is there a particular state or region that the merriams tend to be more white colored or is it just luck of the draw with each particular bird?

Those are all really nice mounts.  I personally like the in-flight mounts!

I love this!! When I get my 2nd slam, I'm gonna do one just like it!!

I don't have all of my Slam birds mounted. I will in the future. I did mount my Merriams, and my best Eastern, though he wasn't my Slam Eastern. Got a fan mount of my Slam Eastern and one of my Rios.

My West Virginia Slam Eastern fan mount


My best Eastern, from Michigan, had 1-1/2" spurs



Oklahoma Rio fan with some beards and a set of hooks

Thanks rutnstrut, great pics!

If I have get the chance at a slam I think this could be my first choice of display with the only change being Id want the beards and spurs worked in there somewhere.

Heck if I get lucky enough to kill 4 easterns this year all with good fans I might do this because it looks cool

Taunto you could put the beard inside th frame, along the edge and mount the spurs somehow on each edge.

I love the way all four fit in one display there.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!
