...Dropped off my bird just six months ago...it felt more like six years! Just picked him up tonight!





..Fella in the picture is Randy Hayes of Hayes Taxidermy in Henderson, NC... He was all smiles as he presented me with my trophy.

I think it turned out pretty nice!... What do you think?

..Thanks for the kind words everybody!

...LOL.. My little daughter (2 years old) saw the mount in my stairway for the first time over the weekend and when she saw it her eyes got huge and she said "Turkey! Turkey!.. Too big!" Man that was funny to hear her say that!

Nice Gobbler Ken,
I think that is identical to how I want to mount my next gobbler. Is this your first mount?

...Full bird mount.. Yep!

It's a nice one for the first one. If I get another that I get mounted I was thinking about right over the front door, and a door bell that gobbles. I don't know if they make such a thing but it would be cool.

And maybe a remote pooper for when unfriendly's visit.

I have a Merriam's that is in full strut, but I wanted it gobblin in strut, and my first Eastern also in full strut. I also like them just upright, no strut. That one just sittin' on the limb was cool too.

Look what you did Ken, my heart is racing, palms are sweating, and I'm scrambling to find a call.

I got an interesting item the other day. Only you would appreciate it though. It is cast turkey poop, male and female, from Penn's Woods. Frank Piper gave them to a WCO and he just gave them to me. Thought you might appreciate it.

Wow....Very nice! Randy looks like a proud puppy with that mount! He did a great job. Glad I finally got to see the turkey!

Hope to see you at the shop soon!
