Very nice indeed! Is that the guy over in Alabama?

That looks like a Cally Morris head and paint job, if not then it's his style, very nice.

You need to get one of those little electronic callers so when people come over you can make him gobble when they come through that door way in front of him!:rofl: Sweet mount and bird.

Looks like several I have mounted!!

Shane did a great job on your first Gobbler!!!

I have some Ducks and a Goose to take over there.

He is truly a Master Taxidermist.

Congrats.

Just to show what paying a little more for quality Taxidermy can give you, this is one of my Easterns- mounted in 1987.

He still looks great in my opinion. Just dust em off once in a while...

Trizey , that is a nice mount. You made a great decision taking him to a person that could do him some justice...

I appreciate the kind words everyone. I'm really tickled with this bird.

BTW...Shane had the new world record Gould's turkey in there. Almost a 15" Beard!!
