He lives again

The Taxidermist finely finished my Gobbler from last spring. He looks as good as he did in real life. I'll be looking for his big brother later this month.

Nice mount! You wouldnt be thinking of using him to decoy his big brother, would you??

Your taxidermist did a magnificent job with your gobbler!

Thank you. Over the years I've taken many turkeys with my flintlocks and one with a longbow. This bird was special because of his size. He weighed 26#, beard was 11", spurs totaled 3". I entered a local turkey contest prior to the season opener and he took 1st place over 50 other entries with their 3 and 3.5" magnums..

This is my gobbler from 2011, another contest winner.. :wink: :grin:
