This happens more often to Dead Heads 🤣

Full moon?

I'm waiting for my dad to come pick me up - I'm going to (hopefully) put him on a bird this morning on a private farm where I bagged a couple Toms in the past. I'll see if I can call one in for him.

I am parked at my spot just now at 4.27am. Walk in at 5am for 1 mile.

heading to Z14 hoping for better luck love to hear a gobble

Heading out in a bit. Zone 9

Taxidermy.net is your friend. There's a lot of information on everything you want to do. For skulls I do a "quick" maceration. Quick meaning it only takes a few days at the right temp. to get it done without damaging or even destroying bone. I give the guy using the power washer credit cause I would destroy it doing it that way. Elmers glue it back together and whiten if you want, I never do. Seal it with lacquer spray. Injecting the legs isn't hard and it looks much better than just letting them dry out. Painting them to perfection I'll never be able to do, but they turn out good enough for me. If you want perfectly painted legs reach out to Jay. Beard, trim all the meat off and dip in dry preserve and let it do its thing (dry out). When doing the tail, separate the layers and get ALL the grease and fat out! Your wife or significant other isn't going to be happy if there's a line of ants crawling up your wall heading for your turkey. Don't be scared to wash with dish soap, as it is a degreaser, and scrape or pick it clean. After you've got as much fat and grease off, do it all again. Let the fan dry, pin it down separating each feather, dry preserve and let it do it's thing (dry out). Check it every couple days and replace the DP. Once it's all dry layer the feathers as they should be and use bondo to hold it all together. This is my broken foot turkey. Chased him for two seasons. Must be a tough life being a turkey. Not totally satisfied with the fan on this one, but I'm not nearly as OCD with my own stuff.

Congrats!
