This is a new head pose we are working on . We carved the head form to replicate the quick gobble or ” throw out” look. Also made a few other tweaks  on the head 12938122_1161671767177523_5555341911391370828_n.jpg12923383_1161671817177518_1372550167552135069_n.jpgbefore we put it in the dryer to achieve some action with the piece.

Nice!  Makes the mount look like it has some action to it.

Do you have extra heads for sale or do you only freeze dry ones that people send you to be returned to them?

I can freeze dry some of the extras I have here for you. I do not have any ready to ship right now, but I could have some ready in about two weeks. You do not have to send your heads in.

I can probably get you some extra heads if you would want any.  I could put the word out to save heads.  Turkey season comes in here in two weeks.

I skinned out a turkey the other day and was wondering how far guys skin the head out to have them sent in to be freeze dried.  Do they skin the head out up to the ears.

I threw the head away the other day because I am planning on just buying an extra head off of someone.

I can always use extra heads.

As far as skinning the head it depends on who is doing it. I keep my skulls in( brain is taken out). A lot of people remove the skulls and skin up to the beak. I get better overall anatomy keeping my skulls in.

WOW…I like it! Usually not a big fan of that pose, but that seems more natural to this novice.
