Bearded Turkey Hen

Submitted by Rolan on 12/5/00. ( ) 216.78.9.35

Turkeys not plentiful in my area and have only my second
turkey to mount. Question here is the hen head. Can it
be skent out like a goose or duck? Or, do you need a
fake head and where can I find one? Also, where can I find
the paint schedule for a hen turkey head ?

No I would not do it like a goose. I mount hen heads the same way I do the gobblers. They need to get injected and freeze dried. I know they don't have the same size wattles but there is some thats need to be taken care of.

I get my inserts from Flynn's form. Use a small head and you should be fine.

As for a paint schedule I just use blues, whites, and different reds. I make it up as I go. There not that hard to paint.
