RE: How many fans?
I have one eastern fan,a rio fan, and a flying mount of an osceola that I havent picked up yet. I used to have a couple dozen eastern fans and a full strutting mount that never seemed to find a good place in any corner of the house. The wife finally put an end to all that tailfan display andI relented to putting up beards in shotgun shell cases on a spur necklace and having one fan on my living room wall next to one rack of a nice 8 pointer I killed. I now have a box full ofspurs and ropes. I take photos of all my birds and the feathers go for arrow building supplies.I doubt I will ever pin out another fan unless its amerriams. That will find a place in my home for sure but gone are the days of displaying every fan from every turkey I have killed.There aint enough wall space, and as my wife puts it this isnt the hunting lodge.
Ive also done quite a few cape mounts for folks and they are super nice.
