Hey all-
I'm looking for instruction on the best way to mount a hen turkey.  I've seen really great info on strutting toms, but am having trouble with a standing or flying hen.  I have a double-bearded gal I'm looking to make look her best.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
Take care & have a great and safe season.

When Regan was president, we had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash.  Now Obama is president and we have no hope and no money.

When was it killed?  If the fall I am betting on pin feathers.  It will be hard to make look good.  But if it is good, it will no different than mounting a standing or flying tom.  Find the Breakthrough magazine articles that Cally Morris did.  They will help tremendously.  Obviously the measurements Cally uses for cutting the bones will be different.
