I hope that you can mount this bird. Doubt you can ever top that one. Bird of a lifetime. Killed in MS?

Got a 20+lb. Rio that my son killed at the taxidermist. It was close to yours in beard and spurs. Killed it in OK. Can't wait to get it back. Should be done by the end of the month. Make sure to put pics of this big boy out here when you get it back. Few things look better in the corner of a room than a big strutting gobbler. We had this one done in a half strut gobbling. Should be pretty. We have killed lots of Rios out there over the last few years but this one had such color that we had to mount him.
