Title: Another Work of Art by Blackwing Turkeys
Post by: cramerhunts on October 31, 2016, 03:11:15 PM
My daughter's Osceola she was able to take on the youth hunt with Swamp Gobbler Outfitters this year is headed home to Arizona. Mike at Blackwing Turkeys used his magic and created another work of art. We showed him the video from the hunt and told him what we were after. He absolutely nailed it and this is exactly like the bird looked coming in that morning. I can't think him enough for such an awesome mount and I'm already looking forward to getting back down with Swamp Gobbler Outfitters.

Man that is spot on. Beautiful mount. If I ever get another one mounted I know where I'll be taking it.

Nice looking bird. I would not hesitate to have them do mine. In fact if I am successful on Rios this coming spring I may have Blackwing Turkeys mount the bird even though I have a good taxidermy. Bird just looks so real and the head is incredible. So many turkeys heads look bloated to me but not this one.

Gorgeous mount!
I'm a little confused though...Is that a jake? Spurs look like longbeard and beard is long for a jake... BUT, the tail looks like a jake...  ???

You aren't the only one! Spurs, beard, and weight all indications of mature gobbler, fan not so much. Another interesting thing is the fan only has 17 instead of the normal 18 feathers.

Kind of adds to the mystery all these birds are...I think it up's the trophy quality...

Mike does great work.  I went with 2 somewhat non-conventional mounts on our goulds mounts and he did a great job on them.

They do some amazing work. I love looking at all their different mounts, you can tell they put the time in on each one.

I do not, just dust with a swiffer duster every couple weeks.
