What makes a turkey..

[dhall1693]

get on a full body mount list for you? What about that bird gives you the reasoning to want to send that particular bird to the taxidermist. I've pondered that though, a long while over the years, and actually wondered if I was going to shoot one worth taking. It wasn't until I killed this last bird with hooks, to reassure what I was looking for.

to me it was his spurs, as I haven't been able to kill a bird with those length of spurs over a 20 year span. He was the icing on this year's cake being my last bird, he was killed start to finish on public land, and it was solo hunt being the first time I have ever hunted this bird, and killed him on my first attempt.

What say ye? Figure this would get us off using male turkey dekes.
