Thanks guys, as someone said about "going thru the whole journey together"...that was the plan. I asked Terry if he'd let me mount his so they would be re-created at the same time.
We wanted pix of then both alive and mounted "together"....Just wish Don had decided to mount his buck...then there would have been three...
To answer a couple questions....
Dirtybird- believe it or not, I've never mounted one of my own turkeys.
Izzy- The form is just as ordered, just a neat pose.
Danny Rowen- You bet bud!
My buck had as many, or more scars on his cape as ever seen on a buck. His nose pad was even deformed a bit from a scar... and in the earlier pix you can see his shoulder area is tore right up. So many others are somewhat hidden by hair...he was a battler no doubt!
But check out the damage to his rack...
A big "chunk" out of his non-typical side, I often wonder what that could have been...
