don't leave your mount in the garage

[stone road turkey calls]

left this in the garage overnight, i don't close the door all the way so the cat can get in and out. something tore this thing up. guess i will put what's left on ebay, good legs,head,wings and foam body

Man that's a bummer. You should use it as a decoy now. Lol.

[guesswho]

I'd put it back in the garage tonight with a game-cam set on video pointed at it.  Might be pretty entertaining.

I agree. If you sell it, it will probably be bought as a decoy anyhow. Is there any way that you can remove some of the loose feathers and just put a new fan on him? I think it would still probably be a nice mount.

the sad thing about this is the one and only time i got my younger brother to go hunting with me we got this bird. he has recently passed away

i wish i could but the whole body (the feathers) are messed up can't see it in the pics

I hate it for you that it had such sentimental value.  You mentioned leaving the door open for the cat to get in. That would be your culprit, IMO.

Maybe your taxidermist could repair it

lol thats what im thinking!

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but I would guess that you could fix most of the problem yourself just by repositioning the tail fan and moving the feathers back into place on the rest of the body.  Certainly, a taxidermist could repair it for you fairly easily.

Your Taxedermist should be able to fix it! With all the centimental value it maybe worth fixing

[stinkpickle]

You need to call the Turtle Man.  Live Action!!!

[fallsflight]

From the pictures, that definitely looks like your taxi should be able to fix it.

How does the mount of the cat that destroyed the turkey look?
