A week ago I had convinced myself to try the flying pose since I screwed up my first attempt at the full strut.  I ended up biting the bullet and giving it a second try.  Still have a few issues but hope to improve on the next one.  Thanks to Aaron & Austin for their detailed instructional videos on Taxidermy Insider and all the private help they have given me through the Insider Forum.  Without their help I would have never made it through mounting the jake, the tom and the pheasant.  You guys are great!!!!  If you are wondering why there is no beard on the tom, the guy who shot it kept the beard.  I have to put another one on it

Gary, your strutting turkey looks great! 

The most important thing is you didn’t give up and tried again.  This is the same thing I tell my students who are experiencing problems in my math class.  Just remember FAIL (or F. A .I .L.) actually means “First Attempt In Learning”

Your next will be even better.

Thanks guys.  When the bird finally dries some and the wind isn’t blowing 20 mph I am going to try and get a better picture of the tom outside.  The lighting inside of the house pretty much sucked.

Thanks to everyone for their encouragement!!!
