Should I Mount Him?

[mountman62]

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

What Happened?Did you beat him with a stick?

Looks like I shot him with a Taser Gun.

[Ol'Mossy]

I'm glad you killed it before it multiplied

[mnturkey]

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.

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

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.

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.

No really what is That? Why does it look so beat up, and where are the tail feathers.
