Options For Mounting Your Trophy
Copyright © 1998 - 2021  Roger W. Raisch * Nadine Adele, all rights reserved

Several options are available for mounting your trophy.  A full mount of your gobbler in flight or strutting will cost several hundred dollars.  Take it to a reputable taxidermist who specializes in turkeys.  Make sure you ask to see examples of his work.  Turkeys are difficult to mount.  Another choice is to display the beard and tail fan in a Turkey Fan & Beard Holder.  This is a tasteful and acceptable way to mount your bird that your spouse will probably approve of.   If you simply want to collect trophy beards, that is also a suitable way to display your trophies.  Rather than have your beard collection stuffed in some drawer, why not display them with a Turkey Beard Holder.

No matter what you decide, treat your trophy with respect, especially if you plan to mount the tail or the entire bird.  First of all, don't allow the bird to flop around violently after it has been shot.  Get to it quickly, hold it down and stop its wings from flapping wildly (watch out for the spurs).  Flapping will cause many feathers to dislodge, causing problems for your taxidermist or you later.

Wash off the blood from the feathers and head with cold water.  Stuff a piece of paper towel inside the mouth of the bird to soak up any blood that may be draining.  And, on a bow-killed turkey, plug up the hole(s) made by your arrow with paper towels.  Smooth down the bird's feathers and keep the carcass clean and dry.

Treat your trophy with respect and you'll enjoy it for many more years.
