Title: Saturday's Red Phase Bird
Post by: BHMTitan on April 17, 2017, 05:39:41 PM
Got this beautiful red phase gobbler Saturday morning. After flying down from his hardwood ridge, he hung up for a while about 80y away on a logging road that runs along the bottom of the ridge.  Some light leaf scratching brought him in to 21 yards!

Congrats and great coloration on the wings! Beauty of a bird.

I will admit I first thought this was going to be a very different bird...

I was thinking this, an erythritic "Red" color phase

Man that's a beauty! Definitely worthy of a full body or cape mount.
Title: Re: Saturday's Red Phase Bird
Post by: BHMTitan on April 18, 2017, 06:03:59 PM
Thanks everyone!  Not getting him mounted because I already have a red phase one that I was fortunate enough to kill in 2011.  Both killed in the same area, 1.5 miles apart.

Great mount...  I'd still cape that bird you recently shot though...  Very pretty bird.

Nice. He is the one that mounted my smoke phase osceola. He does incredible work. The mount he did for me took second place at the NWTF taxidermy competition. I couldn't be happier with it.
