2022 Turkey day

Two tags are legal in Iowa under the allowed restrictions etc.

These were shot just a couple days apart.

Hey gander how’d you get that thing to hang there on that post?

Hey Gimruis, The spurs were about an inch long, and enough to hang onto the top of the post. Some turkeys are referred to as “limbhangers” based on long spurs that allow them to be hung in tree’s. I just played around with it enough to get it to hang. Just a nice 2 yr old bird.

Birds have been gobbling up a storm over the last week.

Had this done to the turkey I shot this year. Turned out really cool. FW likes it better than hanging a tail and beard on the wall. The guy who does this places these feathers individually to make this. He does all sorts of birds that turn out really cool looking.

can you PM me or let us know who does this work? We used to get some 3D mounts with the tails but the person that does them is not around any longer. I think that looks great.

I would also be interested in who does this. Looks like a million bucks

Thanks guys!

If you search for this you should be able to find his website and Facebook page.

BTW – he does also make decoys with all the feathers on them as you mention.

That sure is cool looking!
