My 2012 Euro Mounts

[West Augusta]

My 2012 Eastern Euro Mount.  A shift leader at work did these for me.  Pretty cool. 
Now I need to come up with a plack to mount the tail and beard on.





He did one skull and the neck and skull of the second bird.

That's cool. Not hard to see what happened to second bird. Those pellet holes give it good character.

I really wanted to try that this year but forgot to keep any heads

[West Augusta]

When you try it go very slow during the boiling process.  The bones are very tiny and fragile.  The head and neck are from two different birds.  The first I shot up the head and the second, I shot up the neck.  He put two together to make one.

I like it! Not what I was expecting when I clicked the post...lol

I bet ya getting the heads beetled would be a lot easier than boiling them. I might do it next year or this year if I get a fall bird. Looks pretty sweet.

Sweet!

Could you clean them by putting them in a bucket with water and letting it sit and do its thing for a few weeks then clean it and whiten it?

[tomstopper]

Nice.

Neat mount! Never saw a euro mount of a turkey.

Nice one, Steve!  Did you see the one I did for my mom?  I wanted the mouth open, like yours, but that little bone above the lower jaw broke on one side, and it was just easier to repair it mouth-closed.  I also like the looooonnnngggg neck on your mount.

I had a small colony and did duck heads all the time.  They make quick work of it.

Man that second bird got a noggin' full of lead

That is cool looking

Do you have any estimate of the time you did boil the bones?

[Fatbeard]

That is awesome! I give all my heads to our local taxidermist so they can send them off to freeze dry them! But these are very cool
