Way cool! Did you shoot them or were they for a customer? That would be a cool trip hunting those things.

Those mounts were for customers. Here's a pic of the ones I hunted.

Beautiful birds! Well done on the hunt and mounts! They look small. Weight?

They are small, about the size of our hen turkey. Never weighed 'em but the body (form) that I use is a hen turkey and it's a perfect fit.

Very nice indeed.

Way cool and thanks for sharing! Were you hunting out of the hammock? If so, was it due to nasty creepy crawlies they have down there?

Yeah, I was hunting for brockett deer (an add-on to the ocellated hunt) The hammock is a mayan version of a tree stand. They cut limbs and tie them between two close-together trees and make a ladder to get up into the hammock. Kinda scary climbing into the hammock when you're 10 ft above the ground.
Only saw a doe, they are legal to shoot but I didn't want to.

Welcome Breck! You'll be a good addition. Breck gets my taxi business. He's an awesome artist!

Thanks for the explanation. Though it wasn't a hammock, that reminds me of the story Warren Page penned about hunting in Central America.

BTW, I'm now extremely interested in getting a occellated turkey! That would be a way call addition to a trophy room.
