Rio is home
Killed my first Rio last year,today he's home with me..didn't wanna do the full strut mount due to the spurs which was 1 1/2 and 1 3/8 but I did and I am happy with how it turned out
The double pic is from my eastern the year before last
And I must brag a little bit my taxi guy does pretty dam good work

Haha well it adds to the bird..The Rio was actually missing a feather,told him to work with it the best he could.
Eastern well that one was my fault.

That's the plan..Already now how I want all of them too.
Unfortunately the wife said no more mounts until we get a house built so I gotta get on the ball!!!
But she's right this time anyway...I'm all out of space

Re: Rio is home
Awesome to get some of your birds mounted like for a slam great memories for the future. I was also going to ask about the fans I thought maybe the taxi did them that way on purpose as some of the ones in the shop pic have messed up fans. I shot my osceola and although he was a big old bird he had a messed up tail so I had him mounted standing to hide the tail plus he never did strut and was standing looking when I shot him ! Good luck on completeing the rest of the slam and building a nice man cave in your new house to display them !

i know this part all too well!!! turkey mounts take up some space for sure, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Re: Rio is home
you may have to buy an additional house for your mounts.
