MAY/JUNE 2013
As we were preparing for our 2012 Missouri Spring Turkey Season at The Turkey Roost I received a call from Johnny Williams. Johnny works for Mark and Terry Drury of Drury Outdoors. He said they were wondering if we would be interested in bringing some of our turkeys over to decorate the stage for their new TV show, King of the Spring. I’ve known Mark and Terry for a long time and I was glad to help them out. As our turkey season progressed, the Drurys and their clients delivered several of their turkeys for us to skin for extra turkeys to use in our studio. On one delivery Matthew Drury, Coon Dog, and Chris Comstock came to The Turkey Roost to drop off turkeys. Two of these turkeys were to mount, for Matthew Drury and Coon Dog. Matthew’s was a really nice turkey with very good feathers and wonderfully colored for an Eastern. The turkey weighed 25 lbs. 10 oz. I put my son Drake in charge of doing their mounts. I’m very proud of the job Drake did because the mount is a masterpiece and I really don’t know how it could have turned out any better.
