I was lucky enough to harvest 2 nice Gould turkeys in Mexico in May. There are currently at the taxidermist now. I made these barn wood panels so he can mount both birds on them. The birds will sit flush on the wood on the back side, only 3/4 of the bird will be there the back wing is removed. Think hazel creek was the first to do it like this. I can't wait to get them back in December.

They will kinda be mounted like this one.

With a user name like yours, we would expect no less!

Nice work.  Can't wait to see the mounts up. :icon_thumright:

Got my birds back from the taxidermist. He did an awesome job. Had to modified my original barn wood pieces but they came out great.

Nice mounts! Why did you choose this over a standard strutting on the limb pose? It can't be much of a space saver , and I bet it cost the same as the standard strutter.Just curious...
