Maine Hntr Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Who all has done or had done a turkey mount of any kind? If so, let's see them. I got my first bird a couple weeks ago now and am just doing my own fan and beard mount on a simple store bought setup, nothing too difficult but a fun little project to try myself for a first bird!

fly Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I went with a full strut. I think it was about 500 dollars some years ago. I prefer the freeze dry heads over fake ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Hntr Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 beautiful mount, looks well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Nice mount Frank. None here, believe snapper has a few. Considered having my oldest daughters first turkey done in a full strut, but the few reputable taxidermist around i know of who do turkeys wanted more than i was willing to part with.

RTF Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Turkey mounts should run anywhere from $600 to $800 for a full strut. Im below that as they are not my strong point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I've had 2 gobblers mounted in the past a long time ago. Back then they were a lot cheaper to mount than they are now. The 1st was an Eastern bird I finally killed in MS after chasing that bad, loud drumming bird around for about a month. The 2nd was a Merriam I killed in NM...my marathon hunt...killed him on the 14th setup after a 6 hour & 10 minute battle. The Merriam is a flying mount and the Eastern is a strutting on the limb, neck stretched out in gobbling mode mount. I checked my taxidermist web site a few minutes ago & a turkey mount is $650 now. There would have to be something extra special about a gobbler for me to mount another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I slapped this one together with this years gobbler parts. Cost me $12 in supplies and had it done in a week,lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Here is an example of a rug/wall hanging that I had made. It is one of two I have and the only downside I see is that they do require a fair amount of wall space at 50+ inches wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Some great mounts everyone! I'd have to kill something big to get a full body mount...but wouldn't mind having one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
