Title: Edward Scissorhand mount
Post by: TRKYHTR on May 23, 2011, 11:22:54 PM
I spent all weekend, well almost all, mounting my gobbler from this year. I finally got him on his perch today and wanted to take a few pics. I still have some grooming to do.  Edward has 1 5/8" and 1 1/2" spurs with a 9 1/2" beard. He was my second CA gobbler from this year. My first is the dead mount I just did. Hope you like it.

It's got to be a great feeling to be able to mount the bird you harvested yourself. I'm envious and hope to do the same one of these days.

It is. I've got my MO bird from this year in the freezer right now. Just waiting on the head to get freeze dried. I'm going to put him on a limb as well. Then when I go to these sport shows I will have book end turkeys with at least 1 5/8" hooks. If you need any help with the mounting just shoot me a message.
