2014 Turkey Fans done
« on: June 12, 2014, 03:30:50 PM »
My 2014 birds have dried and been mounted.  First time I incorporated shotgun shell with beard and spurs.  I like it so much I think ill do all my future fans this way.

The shells are a nice touch.

Looks good ...  :tup:

Some other things you may want to consider or try ....
1) 3 x 3 picture of you and bird on the wood below the fan and above the beard/shell/spurs section
2) A nice wing feather from the right side from base of fan up to the right at about a 20 to 30 degress angle
3) Breast feathers between the fan and the wood to really set it off.
