Wow Mike, you've dumped some bucks into some dang nice taxidermy there bud! The spurs on that Oceola and Eastern look really, really long!

[mookyj]

Oh yeah! The eastern sports 1-1/2"s We have two more mounts in the house, one is lee's (first gobbler-standing) and I have another one strutting. THere are a bunch of fan mounts, spur board, and a bunch in the freezer yet to figure out

What does it cost to get a full body mount on a turkey? The only thing I've ever had mounted is a deer. I've only had one deer shoulder mounted but I've mounted a bunch of racks on wall plaques. I really like the fan & beard and/or fan, wings, beard & spur mount you have! They're really nice looking. I like the strung spurs that I've seen some of the guys have as well!

last mount I had done (Osceola) ran $650. Turkey mounts have gone up. Turkey heads are sure strange looking, but they look awful if not done well.

[mrjbigfoot]

Wow, I had no idea it was that much, so it's more like getting fish mounted then. Deer shoulder mounts must be the most reasonably priced taxidermy going!

Thanks for the info!

Post some pictures of the log home when ya get it done that would be cool. I've always really liked them! I helped a guy do some logging for his log home when I was younger. He bought a farm in the hills along the Ohio River just so he could log a bunch of the Eastern Red Cedar off the farm to use for a beautiful log home he built out near New Richmond, Ohio. It was really cool, all the things he did with how he used the cedar to make beautiful kitchen cabinets & obviously cedar closets but the whole house was built out of cedar logs and then he had logs sawed into boards to build other parts of the house. It all had that great cedar smell!

PS - I helped him so I could deer & grouse hunt on the farm!

;D ;D ;D
