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

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
