I saw a similar mount to this at a neightbors place a while back so when I shot a turkey this year I thought I would try my hand at it.

I call it the roadkill mount.

I skinned the bird, salted the hide, scraped off all the fat and such and then used some chemicals I picked up at Cabelas that is suppose to be used to tan hides (I used the same stuff on a coyote and Pronghorn hide and it has worked well for those).

It is a bit odd looking, but I like it!

OK, tried to post the picture in and screwed it up... trying again!

Nice and original!

The feathers have certainly retained their sheen....it would be funny if you put a turkey head on the other side of the wall!

a turky rug!

I like it, it sorta looks like it was peeled off a windsheild though!

Here is one I had for more sons first bird

That is certainly different.

I really like that one...

I would realy have to think about how I skinned it out before hand though...

I'll give that a go on my next one.
