You can, but it's not going to do what you intended

I'm assuming you're trying to fix a turkey head to look good enough to mount. It simply won't work to keep the nodes and nodules filled after the head dries. Years ago, I used to inject them with foam and that works to a degree. The heads still looked like crap. You'll be so much more pleased to either have one freeze dried or buy an artificial one.


thanks
