I went with the flying mount on my ocellated turkey from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.

They sure are pretty birds. Enjoy your hunt and keep us posted with your trophies.

Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Hello everyone! I’m planning on going to the Yucatán on my first out of the states hunt for an Ocellated Turkey Hunt Lord willing. Scheduled to leave next month. Was wondering if yall could recommend some taxidermist for an Ocellated Turkey and Coatimundi. And also post your mount photos so I could get some ideas on the form and such that is if the Good Lord blesses me with a safe and successful harvest. Thanks in advance and look forward to seeing some photos!!

I’m not sure if David Luke in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana is even still in business. If so; he’s your guy. He’s an Ivy League grad in Ornithology. Literally wrote the book on Ocellated turkey taxidermy. When the Smithsonian wanted the Dodo bird redone; they called him.
 
John Beard out of Tennessee. Or Shane smith in Alabama.
I have 30 years of turkey seasons and research and etc under my belt and these guys are best I have seen.

You may be on top of this but I’m fairly certain ofellated require cites permits-make sure you address that before you start your hunt. Or prove me wrong, either way your butt will he covered

Yes we have our cites for the turkey. Waiting on a response from the outfitter if we need another cites for the koati or if we can use the same cites permit for both because we are obviously hunting the turkey and then the koati if we have time
 
All hunted with balam which was bought out by wta owned by Mark Peterson. Awesome location hunting in the high jungle on the boarder of Belize and Guatemala.
 
That is excellent taxidermy and very cool specimens-congratulations and thank you for sharing.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
