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!!

Wow, all great mounts everyone!! I hope to have the slam one of these day!!

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.

Great Tom Ron, Nice to see the old shop again! hope ya get another one this year!

I got this big old boy the first day with the flintlock. Over 25# with an 11" beard. He's at the taxidermist gettin fixed up to join his daddy hanging on the wall..

Here are a few of mine.

That looks like a hell of a bird! What does he have for spurs? What part of the state are you hunting?

I hunt the middle of the state, His spurs were 1 1/2 and a 1 7/16"

This picture is of last years birds spurs which were 1 7/16 and 1 9/16. I didn't get a close up pic of this years birds spurs

Daum! Big hooks for sure. I hunted isabella county this year myself, near Weidman.

Very nice bird with some stellar hooks!!

well here's the fan mount from my son's bird he got on the youth hunt weekend last month.
