    how do you treat that to keep everything in tact once you skin it, for i am guessing you are going to skin to keep all the feathers intact until you use them.

    I am so jealous. I love turkey for some jigs and flies. But I would love to eat the turkey even more. Nothing beats wild.

    Looks like you have some nice hackle there too.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    Good Job! Do you know how much a turkey skin cost? A bunch, but lots for flies on them.

    :D:D:D Those flies weigh a lot! :D:D:D:D

    The marabou feathers on the bird are over 2.5 inches long. One is a 23 pounder. The other is a 12 pounder.

    I was really talking about the tail feathers for flies and they are used a lot. Lots of other good stuff on them birds other than marabou too.

    Nice going on your part,
