I am praying I can get my son his first turkey this year.  He is 6.  I do not want a full mount nor a full cape.  Just wanted ask and see some pics of mounts that are more than just the fan.  Any recs as what to get as well.

Thanks
Raymond

If this link doens't take you directly to the photo, go to Turkeys and photo TK102.  This is Cally Morris's  (Hazel Creek Taxidermy) sight.  These will be considerably more expensive than a fan mount because they require almost the same effort that a full mount does, but they take up a lot less space.  They look much better than the kits with the turkey head.

These still require a good taxidermist or they'll look like .................you know what.

This is the best looking mount between a fan mount and a full body mount. Most half mounts don't have the wings and I think it gives it a little more realism. I got this picture from the NWTF site. Whitt's son mounts these turkeys.

I really like this idea! Thanks for sharing

Here's one that I did last year for a guy.  I like the one above with the wings though.  I'll probably do one of those this year.

Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
George Washington didn't use his freedom of speech to defeat the British, he shot them.

I like that half mount with the wings. Gonna have to get a couple done like that.
