alloutdoors Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) This is my first Osceola, taken on a WMA hunt last spring. Mike Mizelle (Blackwing Turkeys) did the taxidermy work. His work is world class and I can't recommend him highly enough. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. I added the artificial greenery myself, otherwise this is how it came out of the shipping crate.

kpkot Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Looks great. What were the cost of the non resident tags and license if you don't mind me asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alloutdoors Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Looks great. What were the cost of the non resident tags and license if you don't mind me asking.Ten day license is about $50 plus $125 for the turkey permit. This was a quota hunt and it took two years to draw the tag. It runs you about $30 each year to apply. Depending on the popularity of the WMA I've heard it takes between two and five years to get drawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Seasons Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 when I shoot a nice tom some day I'd like to do a mount like this, but not sure where or how I'd present it. What do you guys do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
