I'd go with hanging dead, like in your second picture.   Congrats!

Congrats on a awesome Tom. Should mount it on wall flying.

I second this idea. You'd really be able to see the back and wings, and get a lot of enjoyment out of the color phase.

Could go with a hanging dead mount, then next week if you wanted a flying mount just take him off the post and turn him 90 degrees and hang him on the wall. ;D

the hanging mount would show off wings and fan better, if showing spurs i would pick another mount..

That'd be a tough one but I'd probably do flying, really cool bird

Gorgeous gobbler. I'd go with a hanging dead on old fence post. My Dad has a mount like this. Its eye level so you can really see every feather up close and detailed. Congratulations

Congrats on a fine bird!  That's very cool looking.
The pic JeffC posted would really show off his back and wings.  Have fun choosing!

Congrats on a beauty. I'll go against popular opinion and go with the flying mount like the one pictured. It shows off all colors very well and just looks better to me.
