Goulds Gobbler back from the Taxidermist...
« on: August 28, 2010, 04:44:29 PM »
Well after a few months of waiting, I picked up the Goulds gobbler today.  I went with the half strut pose with the bird gobbling, it was my last memory before squeezing the trigger.  The taxidermist got him almost perfectly as I remembered him.  Having had the opportunity to compare the Goulds side by side with an Eastern mount, I find the body feathers of the Goulds not quite as irridescent as Eastern and Osceola birds.  Notice the black colored toes in the final pic, Lovett Williams says its a characteristic distinctive only to the Goulds.  Hope you like the pics..

Nice mount. I know you'll relive that hunt every time you look at him.
