My decoy is the 1st turkey I mounted about 15yrs. ago. A horrible mount, but a great decoy. I have the fan hooked up to a pull string so you can raise and lower it. Works great when a bird hangs up!! Can someone tell me how to resize the photo's, I'm pretty new to this computer thingy. Thanks for lookin.....Kevin

Best regards

Littlebigman , anymore I always wait for a head on or facing away shot. I tried a few broadside shots when I 1st started bow hunting turkey's and lost a some birds. Too hard for me to pick the right spot. Head on, I aim for the base of the beard, Facing away, I aim just above the base of the tail. It works better for me, 9 birds in a row without a loss...... Norseman I've been saving feathers for awhile now and will have a bunch of left wing feathers I won't use..If any body's interested?

I am very interested in LW feathers.  Please include me in any division of them if feasible.  Thanks.

Eidsvolling, you want primaries and secondaries? approx. 150 of each cut off the wings, but unfinished.......

Mounter,

How about four dozen of each, if you can spare them?  If you send me a PM with your address, I'll send you a stamped envelope.

Thanks very much for your generosity.
