I think I killed a turkey. He walked like a turkey, and gobbled like a turkey so I'm pretty sure it's a turkey. He put up a good battle but I don't wan't to drop five bills on a mount. It has been suggested by more than one person to just do a fan mount. I might would consider that if I could figure out how to get rid of the smell.

:TooFunny: That's awesome. Yea. I'd mount it.
I would like to see the taxidermists face when he seen that one. Lol !!
Shoot I would send that bird to cally morris for a world class mount lol
Tell the Taxidermist you want him to look EXACTLY like that.
I would ask the taxidermist if he can mount him in the same pose as your photo......I think they call that a "aggressive sneak".........lol
GREAT ,Thanks :toothy12:
What Happened?Did you beat him with a stick?
Looks like that turkey went for a swim. Drowned rat comes to mind. Reminds me of my first Osceola I killed. He was standing in 6" of water when I killed him. Took hours to dry him off. Congrats on another good turkey.
TRKYHTR

Looks like I shot him with a Taser Gun.
Is this the one you ran over with the truck in the rain storm?
God Bless,

Ronnie looks like it's allready been mounted one two many times :TooFunny:
Dead turkey...Looks purty to me :icon_thumright:
That sucker looks like a wet feather duster that was used to clean the crapper.
Maybe you can get the mount done for half price? After all half the bird is missing ;D
guess, a good taxidermist can fix him up to look just like new, i killed one once that looked like that hunted him 4 mornings, he always tricked me, but he traveled the same way a couple times, sit in a driving rain in a poncho with just a mouth call and a gun, called him right up, the good part about it was i could see the night light in my yard from where we were, 2nd thought, if you think you might actually kill another turkey in your lifetime, i would wait and get another one to mount, or just let my momma shoot me one

I'm glad you killed it before it multiplied
Taxi man might shoot you if you brought that in to be mounted.
I would spread the fan out and shoot it with a light load of birdshot to put noticeable holes in it. If it is going to look rough, I want the full monty so there is a better story to tell. ;D
Your nuts if you don't mount him, Ronnie..Glue 4 or 5 more beards on him, and he'll fit right in with the rest of your trophys...Mike ;D
Beautiful tom Ronnie, you be nuts to not mount such a beauty.
I've killed quite a few with that washing machine look as well. Seems if there's water anywhere close by, they'll find it during the flop fest.

The waters not a big deal, but that stinking stagnant mud was a bit much. Carrying him with my turkey tote wasn't something I was looking forward to. I had to wash my camo suit when I got home, thats something I usually don't do during the season. I'm afraid I may have washed all the mojo out of it. Oh well, at least it smells like fresh summers rain now.
:turkey2: Drug by a F-150
well, he will eat good, but he has a look that only a mother could love.....
Did he have a beard?
I called one in for a guy one time very similar looking to that.. I think he had 9 tail feathers.. he had Beard Rot too.. but he also had 1.5 inch spurs :)

10 1/8" beard, 1" spurs, and weighed about 46 lbs. including the mud.

Hopefully the mojo aint out of it yet, might have to get moma to rub on it a bit.
I know the smell, run into it at times in the skeeter filled bottoms around here. Kinda reminds you of that smell at the end of the sewer line.
I think that's the most beautiful fan I've ever seen - he's definitely a mounter. :icon_thumright:
No really what is That? Why does it look so beat up, and where are the tail feathers.
Hoot
I got one last year with my bush hog. No Glory in it. Now, go get your gun and call and do it right! LOL.
What did your mom say when she saw it?
Oh please Ronnie, its not about the money or the mount, its about the memory!!!! ;)
That's why, if I were you, I would mount that bird EXACTLY like it is in that picture!!! ;D
Well...it's better than a sharp stick in the eye. Congrats!
You must've shot him in the shower or tub. I must admit, he's pretty. :TooFunny:
Hey I have been there. I actually dried a bird with a blow drier one time before I would take a picture of him. ;D
Congrats on the burd!

She said she has seen me in the same shape in my younger days.
