Don Ortez of Wyoming. Don showed me his Bait's Motel collection of mice which was really humourous. Don makes mice and has these really funny different mice he makes. Some are very clever. He is a crazy fly tyer and spends hours making really clever flies like a flexo tubing sail fish and also a giant muddler minnow scuplture tied on like a 30/0 shark hook using 12" turkey quills.

DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Alexander <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 10:27 PM Subject: [VFB] Preserving some Turkey wings Folks: I know we just talked about tanning and preserving hides, but today I came upon a HUGE roadkilled wild turkey.. I skidded on the brakes, turned around and picked him up..His body, head and tail were pretty messed up, but his wings were in almost perfect shape (and he has some feathers that are over a foot long and over 2 inches across. Huge feathers..Anyway, what I did (for now, till I can get some advise) is cut the wings loose from the body at the shoulders, put the meaty end in a gallon zip lock, bought three boxes of tablesalt and poured it in the bag, filling it past where any raw meat was sticking out.. What should I do now??? I thought about just clipping the big wing feathers off, but there is a whole patch of small (hen like) feathers on each wing too..Thanks, Chuck _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
