I just finished up my son's turkey fan mount and I wanted to show it off. This is the first attempt I've made at any kind of "taxidermy" if you call a fan mount that. I actually watched a youtube video and it was pretty easy. I like looking at other people's handy work so if you have a mount you want to share, please post one. Thanks guys and gals!!

I'm not handy enough to do my own mount so I took this 27# Tom with 11" beard and 1 9/16 spurs to the taxidermist last spring. I just got it back last month and I'm very happy with it. I shot him with a 12ga flintlock fowler. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/Turkey_shoppe%202.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/Turkey_shoppe.JPG)
