Here is the Turkey I took this Spring in AZ. I got the mount back sooner than expected. I'm real happy with it, not the best pic, sorry

Here is the Whitetail I shot a few years ago. I really like how this mount turned out. The pic doesn't do it much justice. The buck scored 135 P&Y.

Nicely done taxidermy. I have a muley being done right now and expect to have it back soon... if I can afford to pay the taxidermist.

I really like that turkey but they take up a lot of wall space for a bird! I would love to have one done like that. My house is soon to be more of a taxidermy studio/antler collection than it's ever been. I may even hang a moose head in my kitchen.. an idea a friend gave me the other day.

Larry, I wish it was a coues. It's a buck I shot South of Laredo Texas a few years back, just a regular whitetail.

The best part is: the horns are on the right side!! YESSSSS...
they look great Stan,the bird is phenominal. You keep this pace up you'll need to add a room to the ol' Casa to support your habit.

My newest mount

Stan, just got this one back today. Taken in Wyoming last fall. I've always wanted a short-haired grey colored mule deer mount. He was taken on September 15th, so it was just what I wanted.

That is a great buck Kurt, looks great. If you send me your address, I can ship you a stud finder.

Luckily my critters are small enough, drywall is more than sturdy enough.

Nice mounts Stan, Did you go freeze dried or artificial on the turkey head?
I mounted one the same pose a few years back... never again! way more work than anything i ever did before. I did the artificial head and kind of wish i did a freeze dry instead.
