Hey Stalker,
I pin them out the way I want them to look and then cover the meaty area with borax to dry them out. Not sure how long they will last like this but I have a couple in my truck going on 3 yrs or so. Probably better ways but this is cheap and easy.
Thanks Kurt.
Trax...like all game, I think they know when they are part of the menu. Up here, I would rate the stupid to not...Spruce, Ruffed/Ptarmigan, w/ Sharp-tails still giving a fair chase.
Tail fans from today's hunt;
Hey Capt, everyone above covered it well. Only thing I have to add is maybe think about getting one mounted or at least save the tail fan. They are one gorgeous bird! Here is a pic of one from this morning, I had already shot my limit of grouse so I could only shoot him with my camera.
Probably not fair of me to post. It's a couple years old but with us finally getting back above zero after sitting near -30 for 2 weeks, I thought it was fitting!
PS...once the Bride and I finally move back to one of the Dakotas, I am not sure I will be able to handle the winds anymore. W &...
