preserving fans, spurs, beard

[Dook]

I have always just used salt to dry fans

Its definitely not rocket science....

I got feet I nailed down and salted that are 15 years old too.

Yea, I have also nailed feet open toe'd on a board and dried them that way. They look better that way, to me.

Drill bit ran through the leg will get most the marrow out.

[Highstrung]

Bullshit, y'all are keeping feet now?

[YoungBuckTX]

only if they have big spurs on them

[GobblerHntr]

The difference being I'm willing to post up what I do instead of saying "my way is better than yours" and leaving it at that.

And borax won't leave shit to rot.

That's the point. If you're not gonna help, then why bother? Anything more is simply pretentious.

[GobblerHntr]

Well I'm pretentious then idgaf. I wasn't trying to help you.l

[Dook]

Talk about missing a fucking point....

If your way is harder than (1)pinning the fan to a piece of cardboard and (2) pouring Borax all over it then FUCK YOUR WAY.

There's another way?

Salt or Borax, fuck all that meat removing shit. If it's a truly special bird you should do a cape or full body mount.

Spurs: hacksaw through bone on both sides. Meat comes right off with a semi sharp knife. Poke a small stick inside bone to remove marrow and give the spurs a quick wash. I usually borax them along with beard and fan just in case. Once cured, I sand with high grit sandpaper to polish them and then put a couple of clear coats of finish. Makes them look really nice. You can also use a dremel to shape the bone and peroxide it to whiten it up.

Borax, as Tater said. Period

Hahaha!

Toof if you want to give him something special to remember that turkey by, get him a nice journal to record all the ones yet to come. Write up every detail of his first one, stick a couple pictures between the pages and encourage him to fill up the remaining pages and pass it on to his kids one day.

Shoot for the moon. He will only have one "first turkey"...
