G'day all
I am after some help.I am off on a Tur hunt in september and not sure how to mount it if i am lucky enough to take one.I will take a full skin but after looking at pictures the horns are the real trophy BUT if anyone has one could they please post a picture of the mount or even ideas on how to get it mounted it would be a fantastic help.Thanks

I don't have any tur taxidermy photos but it's a very interesting animal and it can be an extremely physical hunt (even by alpine standards). A number of hunters have fallen as I'm sure you know.

Are you going for Kuban or Dagestan tur? I would like to hear more about it. Tur are one of those animals that look completely different depending on the angle you are viewing it from.

I am hunting the dagestan.We could go earlier but we were told that the skins ar better later in the year even if its a bit more difficult.Depending on the quality and if I take one I was thinking that to full mount one the animal needs to be doing something dramatic to get the most out of it.The idea I have in mind is to have it look as if it is leaping down hill much like a tahar mount with one foot on a smallish pedistol leggs kicked back in the air which I hope will give maximum effect.I let you know more if and when I get one

Sounds interesting. Who are you hunting with? Tur are becoming more popular but there are still quite a few hunters that don't have a clue what a tur is.

I don't know who the hunter is but this tur is from Azerbejain.

The hunt has been organised by Bryan Martin.I haven't met him but he has worked with a mate of mine here in Aussie(Chris Nash)Bryan is a sheep guide and a damn good one from what I have heard.Seems to have it all sorted out and I can only hope I shoot something as good as the picture you posted FANTASTIC.I just thought it would be a different addition to the trophy room.SO if I do get one will post pictures and somewhere down the track the mount
