How many of you guys have mounted a turkey? Will you please share a pic?
Have any of you done a mount where you mounted the wings too?
Thanks,

My wife killed one in Kentucky last year that we had mounted. We pick it up next month when we go back up there. I can share then.

How much is a mount typically? Haven't had one done yet.

I think, $500.00 to $600.00 depending on how you want it.

Full body mounts are expensive, 700-800$ for a flying or strutting mount and they are huge. I have a couple flying mounts. Get the tail feather fans if you want something cool that won't break the bank.

[Current #1 turkey taken with a crossbow with NWTF. Cost me $700 to have him mounted but he's a world record bird so not mounting him wasn't an option.

 Here's one of the tail fan and wings. Notice he has no barring on his wings.
