I killed a pretty unique turkey last season in my home state of Kentucky. I couldn't see myself not getting this bird mounted.
25.5lbs \\\ 10" and 10.5" beards \\\ 1" and 1-3/8" spurs
This bird also had a split snood which I had never seen before (not that it matters, just thought it was kinda neat). The taxidermist who has been mounting turkeys for 30 years said he had never seen one like it before either.
Have any of you guys seen this before?
(sorry for the double post, I put it in the taxidermy section but its slow over there...)
I haven't. Beautiful mount though. Congrats! :drool:
Awesome bird... I like it and I would have had it mounted as well.......
So cool, first one I have seen. :icon_thumright:
