Turkey Neck Length?

I'm doing a standing alert mount of an eastern tom turkey,around 20/22 Lb and don't have any neck measurement, it came to me already skinned and I don't have another one to measure. I am using a freeze dried head with the styrofoam form inside it but I still need the overall neck length. Can anyone tell me the skull to body length measurement?

Thanks, Roy.

Roy,
Start with about 14'' measured from behind the ear on down the neck. Leave neck wire long at first.After mounted,test the neck length and adjust as needed.Hope this helps,
Brian

Thanks

I will give it a try.
