From as little as $100 to as much as $600 for a full mount.
It will still be cheaper to pay $150 to get the bird cleared by one of the approved taxidermist and have him do it. I let him use my Merriams mount for about a year in a sporting goods store and it cost me only $250, the other 3 were like $400 when I got them done. Mine will be mounted on a tree limb with the bird gobbling. It will have it's real head. I say will be since I have yet to get it back from the Taxidermist. It should be soon he has had it almost a year. Cost $500.00 for this mount. It is a nice Eastern bird from central Illinois. 25 1/2# -12 beard - 1 3/4spurs 'bout the same cost as a whitetail shoulder mount. BTW, make sure the guy uses the actual turkey's head, not latex heads. I got a mount done with a latex head a few years ago, and don't care for it at all. I charge the following: Satnding- $425 Flying- $450 Strut- $500 Includes a base but habitat is extra. Mine will be mounted on a tree limb with the bird gobbling. It will have it's real head.

The beard of a gobbler makes a nice addition to a tail feather mount. Remove it from the turkey by pulling it and cutting where it attaches to the body. Rub borax into the fleshy part of the beard and then place this part into a container of borax overnight. Once it is preserved, brush off any excess borax.
