It's a good looking mount Ryan. I like the way the wing feathers extend all the way down the turkey's side. I had one mounted a couple of years ago that was suppose to be in full strut but the wing feathers did not even come close to being fully extended. IMO, the only thing I see that could have been better are the eyes. You don't see any of the eyelids. Here's a pic of one of mine:

Your mount is a great turkey. I would be proud to have him.

Alright the beard was 11 1/2". What was it when you got it back from the taxidermist?

As for the beard being crooked. I don't see it. Only way for that to happen I think it was the way it was laying in the freezer, but I doubt it.

Only thing i noticed was their is a lot of white on that turkey's head. It doesn't look like the one in the pic. But other than that it's a nice mount for sure...
