Title: First time competing with a turkey mount
Post by: Timberland Taxidermy on July 29, 2014, 11:22:03 AM
The taxidermy section has been pretty slow so I thought I'd share a pic. I do lots of taxidermy competitions, and have been successful competing with Deer, Small Mammals, and fish but I'd never tried competing with a turkey. This year I didn't have anything ready so I talked a client into letting me take a bird I was working on for him and it fared pretty well.

Wow, I wish there was a taxidermist near me that did work that nice. Beautiful job.

At first glance I thought you had taken a live bird to the competition with you  ;D, looks great.  Congrats!
