My first turkey also my first made shadow box

Post by bcuda »

First time ever hunting Turkey this past spring of 2021.
So I decided to make a shadow box for it. It could be better but
it will do. I think next time i would like to get a dead Turkey hanging type mount.

Going to go turkey hunting this weekend with my Grandson.
He told me He wants a shadow box like mine, I hope He gets His first turkey.
Wish Him luck.
