What to do for a memory of my first turkey?

Wow, great ideas!  I'm glad you have the beard, spur, and a photo! There's a lot of cool ideas on pinterest too.

Cheap and easy.  In this one, the hooks hold up the pot call.  Put a pic where the pot is.

I know it's to late now for that turkey, unless you happened to keep some feathers.  But every turkey I've ever killed with a different gun I took a breast feather and put under the butt plate of that gun.  I have an old Winchester model 37 in a 20 gauge that has a feather that's 52 years old.  You would be surprised what a single feather can do to a man, makes me tear up a tad every time I remove that butt plate.   I looked at it early this summer when I was in Florida.   All my guns I've ever killed a turkey with has a feather from its first bird. 

As far as the beards and Spurs I'd make a beard board to display them along with future kills.   All mine have pictures on them as well.  I'll dig up a picture and post it after while.

File holder racks. . . . that'll be done soon! Awesome idea.


Thanks!


Got the idea for these as I was selling Fans & Wings at shows for setting up DSD Strutter Decoys, I had my "White Headed" DSD on Display and needed a way to hold the extras I sell. Was at WallyWorld when I seen them and it just struck me (That'll work moment) and they are inexpensive. I have made a faceboard for the rack to cover the wire for a few of my displays.

I too bought the file holder racks after seeing it mentioned on the site.  Great idea!

I was thinking he could start a bucket.

Might turn some off but a turkey fan is a turkey fan when you get right down to it. I save all mine for various reasons every season, mostly for fly tying and such. Got a few in the freezer and glad to donate a replacement if you need it. A good picture is hard to beat though.
