My 2012 WI Tom
Here is an Erythristic or "Red Phase" Eastern that I personally shot in central WI this past spring. I just finished it up last week and finally got some nice pics to post. If you are not familiar with color phases, "Reds" are the rarest making this a true trophy and a once in a lifetime bird that I am not only proud to have harvested, but proud to have mounted and be able to display and admire for years to come.

Nicely done. Where in Wi. did you shoot him? Mike
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Wow! That is one fantastic mount! As one who attempts a bit of "hobby" turkey taxidermy, I can honestly say I am in awe of your talent. I would love to finally be able to figure out how to make a bird look that good. Incredible work!

Re: My 2012 WI Tom
Sorry, Haven't been on here for a while. I'm not Aaron or Greg but Aaron and I did this bird together. Aaron is a great Taxidermist and I'd say one of the best Turkey guys in the country. He has helped me a lot and I hope to learn from and work with him more in the future.

BTW this was shot with one of Hawglips TSS recipes! He didn't even flop when I hammered him at 45 yards. The only bad thing was that my pattern was so dense still that his neck and upper breast were shot up pretty bad not to mention his head of course.
