i'm mounting my turkey tail , beard and spurs on this cypress knee, the problem is i dont know where to put the spurs....i was thinkng on the back , like a real turkey because you'll be able to see the back and front, butthe hubby says no.....here's a pic, it's far from finished , but you'll get the idea....

the back of it is one long piece that runs up the center.....

If it were mine, I'd want to be able to see all of the trophy parts from one perspective. I think the abouve suggestion would work well.

Don't forget to post the finished product!

Huntnma, That is a really cool mount. And I agree with Adrian I think they would stand out better mounted on the side. Make sure ya take pic of the finished mount for us too see. Never know you may be getting tails, beards and spurs int he mail to make us some
