Killed this 4 bearded bird April of 2021. Got to get it hung up this afternoon! I honestly wasn't even going to mount it but my wife insisted on me having it done and I'm glad I listened to her. Beards were 10", 6", 4.5" & 4.5". 1 3/16" spurs.

Those scrubs match that scrubby UK trash!

Turkey looks great.

What's the story on the doe under the tv?
I guess it was 3-4 years ago a member posted the pic to someone in the classifieds offering to sell it to them. I ended up buying it just as a show piece. Pretty sure it was a yearling he found ran over and had it mounted.

👍 Looking at it on my phone and couldn't tell if those were spots or it was possibly a piebald.

Very nice!
Who did your deer mounts?
The top right one and one to left of turkey over the TV was done by Dowdy's Taxidermist. The bottom right was done by Grogan's. The rest of them were done by my uncle, which is the same taxidermist that done the turkeys. He started taxidermy around 2005 and was doing euro mounts. Then in 2011 started doing shoulder mounts. The 9 pt with big brows he did that year and as you can tell he's gotten much better since then. I plan to have that one remounted one of these days. He's turned his business from just a part time gig to going full time 3 years ago and stays covered up.
